International Trade Policy Analyst
Model tariff impacts and generate data-driven trade policy recommendations
What You Can Do
Analyze complex trade agreements and quantify their macroeconomic effects on tariffs, supply chains, and bilateral commerce. You'll receive detailed impact models showing wage effects, inflation pressure, and sectoral shifts—all with evidence-based policy recommendations you can defend in negotiations. This skill transforms raw trade data into actionable strategic analysis.
Features
Parse bilateral and multilateral agreements to extract key commercial terms, rules of origin, and dispute mechanisms with clear strategic implications.
Quantify price effects, consumer surplus, producer surplus, and incidence across sectors using demand elasticity and cross-price effects.
Project GDP, inflation, employment, and trade balance effects of policy changes with confidence intervals and scenario analysis.
Identify tariff-vulnerable supply chain tiers, alternative sourcing options, and resilience trade-offs with cost-benefit breakdowns.
Generate evidence-based policy proposals with supporting economic data, negotiating language, and comparative benchmarks against peer economies.
Model differential effects across agriculture, manufacturing, services, and labor-intensive sectors to identify winners and losers.
Develop negotiating positions with supporting economic rationale, escalation scenarios, and retaliatory response analysis.
Benchmark proposed policies against how peer economies (EU, Japan, Canada) handled similar situations and WTO precedent cases.
Example Output
Example 1: Tariff Impact Model You ask: "What's the macroeconomic impact of a 25% automotive tariff from Mexico?" Claude generates:
- Consumer price: ~$2,400/vehicle increase, demand drops 8%
- Employment: +85,000 domestic auto jobs; −120,000 retail/logistics jobs (net negative)
- Inflation: +0.3% upward pressure on core CPI
- Supply chain: 12-18 month sourcing transition; North American integration at risk
- Recommendation: Target luxury EVs only; preserve USMCA supply chain benefits
Example 2: Trade Agreement Evaluation You provide: USMCA Chapter 4 rules of origin + apparel production data Claude generates:
- Vietnam circumvention risk: High (waistbands, zippers imported → circumvention loop)
- Value transfer: ~$2.1B annually from US labor to third-country suppliers
- WTO precedent: Similar loopholes in US-Korea FTA led to 2015 renegotiation
- Recommendation: Tighten yarn-forward rule; add auto-adjudication mechanism
Example 3: Policy Brief You request: Evidence-based argument for/against semiconductors tariff Claude produces: 3-page brief with GDP impact model (±0.2%), sectoral employment table, 5 evidence citations, EU/Japan policy comparison, and negotiating talking points.
