Did Late Nineteenth Century U.S. Tariffs Promote Infant Industries? Evidence from the Tinplate Industry

Abstract

3 Paul David (1970) and Jeffrey Williamson (1972), however, have debated the evidence on infant industry protection for the antebellum U.S. cotton textile industry.4 Using data from Turkey, Krueger and Tuncer (1982) concluded that there was no tendency for productivity to advance more rapidly in protected industries, although they presented no statistical test of this claim.Ann Harrison (1994) later showed that some of their measures of protection and productivity growth were positively correlated.Krueger and Tuncer (1994)
