About the event
What are tariffs, who ultimately pays for them, and are they legally sound?
Drawing on his recent article Who Is Ripping Off the U.S.?, Jeroen Lammers, assistant professor at the Department of Business Humanities and Law, will examine recent U.S. tariff measures from a tax law perspective and explain the rationale behind them. He will also explore their economic effects and discuss the Supreme Court ruling that questions their legal basis, as well as what may happen next.
This event is part of CBS Library and Academic Services' celebration of CBS research, and it contributes to the CBS research dissemination efforts.
