This requirement is for services to develop an economic model that will incorporate sector-specific capital with adjustment costs, intertemporal household decisions, and an international bond market to generate endogenous saving and borrowing behavior. As part of its efforts to fulfill its mandate, the US ITC seeks to procure a multi-country, multisector quantitative model designed to analyze changes and transition dynamics in the trade balance, trade flows, and output following trade policy changes, such as tariff changes. This contract is essential to produce quantitative analysis to comply with statutory obligations wider 19 U.S.C. l332(g). Specifically, it will enhance the Commission's ability to quantify the short run and long-run impacts of changes in trade policy on macroeconomic outcomes, including investment, domestic production, and the trade balance. A model with these capabilities is necessary to fully analyze the impact of trade policy on onshoring, as well as to estimate the timeline and path of economic changes after a policy is put in place. To the degree possible, this model will rely on existing, publicly available datasets, potentially including the ITPD-S, which is produced and maintained by USITC.
