華爾街日報報導:「‘We Are at the Limit’: Trump’s Tariffs Turn Small Businesses Upside Down」
內文簡單而正確的經濟分析:
The impact is now being felt particularly acutely by small businesses and startups. Broadly, this class of company, like others, feels good about the economy. But compared with larger operations, they have less ability to deflect higher materials prices or pass along new costs to customers.
Tariffs throw a wrench into pricing calculations and eat into profit margins. Smaller firms also are less able to shift production to other locations and have smaller reserves to draw on when times get tough.
Even those that benefit from a surge in domestic business are struggling to ramp up quickly enough to take advantage.
As a result, small firms selling all manner of goods, including high-tech light switches and the coated paper used to handle deli meats, are rethinking their strategies, suppliers, manufacturing locations and pricing.
誠如我們反覆談論:關稅障礙本質只是「強迫國內人民用更高的代價去完成既有的經濟活動」,以這點來看,貿易戰結果必然是傷人傷己。與此同時我認為,經濟體的彈性與交易費用高低,也會影響貿易戰下的傷害程度。微觀來看,小企業租值遠不如大企業,當某些生產要素成本被政府人為提高,傷害比例非常可能比大企業還高。
然後從價格理論出發,我們再進入第二步:
如同我批判最低工資法規的邏輯,當政府介入操控市場價格時,必然發生資訊費用上升以及資產配置扭曲的結果。這也是說,貿易戰必然在邊際上影響部分企業的生產要素配置,講更白話就是「投資計畫與回報預期」。越是邊際的企業越容易採取防守策略,而足夠多企業採用防守策略時,景氣就會反轉。
該報導文中幾個案例:
1. 北卡某5人小企業發現貿易戰下,該企業從中國進口的客製化自行車每輛成本增加$425美元,而他們無法在美國找到其他供應商,因此只能默默承受。但其終端零售價格已經高達$3250美元,再提高$425,公司必須與通路商重新議價。(可想而知,該企業如有新產品規劃,也將被迫暫停或重新規劃)
2. 田納西州的Smokey Mountain Trailers表示鋼鋁關稅已經造成該零售價格必須上漲7%,其業務主管表示:「最終還是得由消費者買單(At the end of the day, the consumer is paying.)」(一兩個月前才有自稱總體經濟學專家來此版愚蠢地宣稱『貿易戰不會影響消費者』哩~)
3. Tusco Display也因成本上升,不再續聘20名約僱工人,還進一步辭退10名正職工,且暫緩$1百萬美元的新機台採購案。
4. 舊金山的11人公司 Nebia Inc也因應鋼鋁關稅,考慮將$399美元的連蓬頭OEM從明尼蘇達州移往墨西哥。
5. RelianceCM 這家電子製造廠表示其客戶因物料成本上升,反欲將訂單從美國轉往中國(看傻大媽了)
第三步(這第三步也是先前與內人聊天時特別提及的):當人民幣下跌幅度夠大時,突發的中美貿易戰結果很可能在短時間內反而出現實質貿易逆差擴大的現象。
同樣從價格理論出發,第一點:所有企業均在侷限條件下達到最高效率,這意味著08年以來的復甦過程,多數存活企業在全球生產要素重配置的運作下(尤其是製造業),不可能有多少「閒置生產線」這類浪費存在。這是關鍵侷限條件。這也是說,川普這種「突發性」的貿易關稅障礙,廠商在短時間內「要完成轉單他國」成本遠高過「先忍下這局」。配合前述「更高代價維持既有經濟活動」看法,一年內中美貿易逆差反而會因為貿易戰而實質不減反增!尤其發動期間恰好是一般國際供應鏈訂單決定期(5~7月),轉單成本將比其他時間點更高,此擴大現象也更難避免。
第二點:lead time -- 以塑膠製品為例,模具是否為公模?若是則轉單成本將大增;若為私模,模具移往新OEM廠,並不保證產能與品質都可平穩不變地跟著移轉(成型機上各種參數與原料配方乃至於色差等等問題均需要耗費時間與成本克服)。若是跨國移送模具,運送費用與模具損耗風險也都是買家需要再三斟酌。此外,若要新開模具,他國技術、成本又是另一層考量。若產品涉及到認證或特殊功能需求(如抗紫外線),則又會延長轉單所需時間與成本。
上述lead-time cost絕非Emmy Hu這種不知世事的偽財經大媽所想像得那麼輕鬆容易。
第三點:也因為轉單成本高、不確定因素高,若人民幣走弱,部分美國採購商反倒可能擴大採購量以因應之。
短時間內,三個關鍵條件均將使貿易戰對實質貿易逆差只會加大而非減少。
我相信第三步分析也是"商周不要的大媽"與一般總體經濟分析都忽略的重點。二者錯誤均來自對真實世界的無知,對交易費用的輕忽。
三步綜合起來,我們可以看得更清楚:
貿易戰增加經濟活動成本、資訊費用與不確定性,必然改變企業原本最有效率的資源配置乃至於回報預期。交易費用的存在必然使得突發的貿易戰不但無助於改善貿易逆差,反而會加劇。
至於美國口口聲聲的「中國侵害智慧財產權」部分,我已經討論過 (https://wp.me/p9ffS3-zn),就不再贅言重複。

Hold up
Gotta minute for me, yeah
I know I just show up
Didn’t know I got a call before
Maybe you could spare a minute
Sit down, you said I got way too much confidence
Honestly, you didn’t see the best in
me It feels like you’re mocking me
And now I’ve gone off so far away
A castaway
But you don’t even remember what you did back then, oh yeah
No, it didn’t take forever for me to move on
Make it work
Somehow I know
Think about what we had
I guess I’ve always known I never had the chance
You were never gonna give me a fair shot, yeah
Leave it all in the past
No use tryna dig up all the good times
Too bad, you got way too much confidence
Honestly, it wasn’t so hard to see
That you’re not the one for me
Yeah, I’d rather be so far away
A castaway
Ayo, no point in lying
No point in trying anymore
Change in direction
And now I’m flying through the door
Am I being used?
Question kinda dumb
It’s rhetorical
And some
At this point I wanna run
I don’t need no handout
Ima cook solo and we’ll see how it pan out
Maybe too hot I might have to bring the fan out
Now to drown you out
I ain’t know it could blow that loud, damn
We don’t work out
Beerbelly is on horizon
You don’t hear me now
You really don’t have Verizon
Do we need sirens
Cause I need help
If I was a pair of pants, I’d be looking for a belt
Cause you always bring me down
And I’m looking for an up
So it’s gotten to a point where I do this shit myself
Am I being used?
Question kinda dumb it’s rhetorical
And some, at this point I wanna run
Honestly, you didn’t see the best in me
It feels like you’re mocking me
And now I’ve gone off so far away
A castaway

"Unexpectedly" Lyrics
[verse 1]
I've always a been
A man with a plan
Always prepared
Never one to leave it to chance
But it's all unscripted
When I'm with you
It seems familiar
Yet it all feels so new
[prehook]
All of a sudden I miss you
Thinking bout all of the things that we've been through
Oh no, it's not that I planned to
But I think it feels like maybe I've fallen for you
[chorus]
You and me
Just don't know
Oh, were we ever meant to be?
Suddenly
oh You caught me
So off guard
We fell in love so unexpectedly
[break]
[verse 2]
I've known you for
Five years and a day
Never once thought
I'd have these words to say
I wanna hold you and kiss you
Until the end of time
And when you're out of sight
[prehook]
All of a sudden I miss you
Thinking bout all of the things that we've been through
No, it's not that I planned to
But I think just maybe I've fallen for you
[bridge]
The one I was searching for
Was right here all along
Now I see
I see you standing right in front of me
The one I was searching for
Was right here all along
How did we
We fall in love so unexpectedly?
