“The American Trade Actor Office released his methodology and pointed to an academic paper produced by four economists, including me, apparently to support its numbers. But she made a mistake. Very wrong,” he said.

He added: “I do not agree mainly with the government’s commercial policy and its approach. But even taking it with the nominal value, the results we have reached indicate that the calculated definitions must be largely smaller-perhaps a quarter.”

Niman began to say that it is not a realistic goal to end the trade deficit with these countries in the first place, as “commercial imbalances between the two countries can appear for many reasons that have nothing to do with protection.”

“The customs tariff form assumes that the tariff that has been placed on one country will not affect imports from any others and ignore any traces of exports. These assumptions may work to take action against a small commercial partner, but not for the wide Salvo that was announced last week.”

The economist wrote that the Trump team used the formula but used the success rate of 25 % for reasons he said he could not explain. “Where did 25 percent come from? Is it related to our work? I don’t know,” he said.

Niman concluded that “if the commercial office had used a value closer to 95 percent of our work, as I think he should have done so, the calculated definitions may be less than a quarter of what they are.”
