ECONOMIC
RESEARCH
The CPA Economics Team is focused on research into policies that can restore broadly shared U.S. prosperity, reduce our huge trade deficit, raise U.S. economic growth rate and reduce inequality. Our work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and supported testimony to congressional committees and the International Trade Commission. In 2019, a CPA research paper on U.S. tariffs on China won the NABE’s Mennis Award as Most Outstanding Paper of the year. Our research encompasses these topics in international economics. For our recent publications, click on one of the five links below or search for a specific topic.

Solar Panel Tariffs Will Not Slow Down the Rate of Solar Deployment

U.S. government.
Solar Import Surge Caused by Massive Subsidies Prompts Additional Antidumping Allegations
As the demand for solar energy deployment in the United States continues to grow, foreign firms are reaping nearly all the benefits. Solar imports in 2024 are outpacing total demand and crowding out domestic solar manufacturers.
