“…As Rogers et al. (2024) uncover, the tariffs failed to reduce Chinese imports, but did elevate the cost of doing business in industries that the tariffs sought to protect, with much of this burden reflected in higher prices faced by American consumers. This is a general tendency that scholars have long recognized through the Law of Unintended Consequences .…”

“…In addition to providing income for the legislative body imposing them, the second purpose of tariffs often is to make certain goods (i.e., typically, those originating in a different geography) more expensive than others (e.g., domestic), thus making the latter more attractive to buyers. Because of this pricing and market‐manipulation power, tariffs therefore can influence a lot of supply chain functions (Dong & Kouvelis, 2020; Rogers et al., 2024). For example, it has been argued that in modern supply chains, tariffs can influence the location of production facilities, distribution, and inventory, as well as introduce uncertainty that elevates the risks in strategic decision‐making (Zinn & Goldsby, 2020).…”

The transformative research agenda encourages the pursuit of questions emphasizing societal welfare and well‐being outcomes rather than (just) focusing on narrow, incremental business‐related outcomes. This paper addresses that premise by examining those households at the social and economic bottom of the pyramid (BOP) that are intended to benefit most from the removal of trade barriers. The removal of these barriers should enable supply chains to yield commercial and welfare efficiency in terms of economic surpluses. The Goods and Services Tax legislation implemented in India in 2017 sought to do just that, serving as the experimental testbed for our investigation. Yet, as our analysis of more than 50,000 unique households in the Consumer Pyramids Household Survey data indicates, those at the social and geographic BOP see less benefit than others from the same policy intervention. This runs counter to the intended consequences of such policies. We employ a middle‐range theorizing approach grounded in the Theory of Customs Unions to inform and substantiate our hypotheses, which are tested using a stochastic frontier analysis and truncated regression. The results hold implications for policymakers and organizations seeking to elevate the efficacy of supply chains orchestrated by and serving BOP populations.

“…Among them, invention patents can best reflect firms' capabilities and performances in innovation because they are a significant improvement over existing technologies (Wang et al, 2021). A greater number of granted invention patents means focal firms have a better innovation capability (Lahiri & Narayanan, 2013;Romijn & Albaladejo, 2002).…”

“…Its scale is more substantial than previous trade conflicts, such as the Smoot-Hawley tariffs in the 1930s, in terms of U.S. GDP affected (3.6% vs. 1.4%) and the proportion of products targeted by tariffs (67% vs. 27%) (Fajgelbaum et al, 2020). This conflict represents an unprecedented transformation and disruption in the globalized supply chain, affecting firms' operational costs globally and their firm value (Huang et al, 2023;Rogers et al, 2024). In addition, the trade war signifies a major geopolitical conflict between the world's two largest economies, creating substantial uncertainty about future international trade environments (Handley & Limão, 2022).…”

Geopolitical conflicts, particularly economic ones, introduce significant uncertainties into the global supply chain. The impact of these conflicts on cross‐border buyer–supplier transactions remains underexplored, as does the capability of global suppliers to mitigate such risks by locking in their foreign buyers. Employing a combined perspective of resource dependence theory and transaction cost economics, we examine a natural experiment to investigate the effects of the 2018 U.S.–China trade war on the transactional relationships between Chinese suppliers and their U.S. buyers. Our study reveals that the trade war generally adversely affected these buyer–supplier transactional relationships, leading to a negative abnormal transaction value in the affected dyads, which amounted to 18.42% of their pre‐event level. However, we find that this adverse impact can be attenuated when Chinese suppliers demonstrate superior innovation capabilities, higher corporate social responsibility performance, or fewer local political ties. These findings yield insights for international suppliers and buyers on strategies to maintain buyer–supplier transactions and minimize the detrimental effects on global supply chain relationships during geopolitical conflicts.
