Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the application of U.S. trade laws and the distribution of income and levels of poverty in America. Specifically, we examine the recent use of "administered protection" by U.S. industries and compare the experiences of these industries under the trade laws with their associated poverty rates, wage levels, and rates of unemployment. This study seeks to determine whether this protection has served to alleviate or to exacerbate poverty. We find an inherent bias in the trade laws toward increasing the incidence of poverty.
