International Trade Impact Analysis
Analyze international trade impacts on economies, policy, and supply chains
What You Can Do
This skill helps you systematically evaluate the economic, social, and strategic impacts of international trade decisions. You can model trade agreement scenarios, trace supply chain disruptions, assess sector-specific effects, and quantify costs versus benefits across multiple stakeholders. Get structured analysis that supports evidence-based policy and business decisions.
Features
Apply multi-dimensional analysis to evaluate how tariffs, quotas, and trade agreements affect employment, prices, GDP, and competitiveness across industries
Identify critical dependencies, single-source vulnerabilities, and cascading disruption risks across global supply networks
Quantify production efficiency, trade-off profiles, and specialization opportunities for regions based on factor endowments and productivity
Model outcomes of proposed tariffs, subsidies, trade agreements, or trade wars with probabilistic impact ranges for key economic indicators
Disaggregate winners and losers by industry, geography, and worker demographics to understand distributional effects and adjustment costs
Benchmark rules of origin, tariff schedules, services provisions, and regulatory harmonization clauses against economic objectives and competitiveness goals
Compile and reconcile conflicting research findings, data sources, and assumptions into coherent narratives with confidence intervals
Example Output
Trade War Tariff Scenario Analysis
Impact of 25% tariffs on imported automobiles:
- ✓ Domestic employment: +12,000–18,000 auto manufacturing jobs
- ✓ Consumer prices: +3–5% vehicle cost (drives 80K+ fewer sales annually)
- ✓ GDP effect: +0.15% short-term → −0.22% long-term (once retaliation settles)
- ✓ Winners: Rust Belt auto suppliers, union workers; Losers: car buyers, downstream manufacturers
- ✓ Risk: Retaliatory tariffs on agriculture (−$2.1B farm exports)
Supply Chain Resilience Report
Semiconductor supply chain vulnerability:
- Single-source risk: Taiwan (92% of advanced chip production) → Japan (photomasks)
- Disruption scenarios: Taiwan strait crisis (−$180B global GDP in year 1); Japan earthquake (3-month chip shortage)
- Mitigation options: Regional fabrication subsidies ($50B), inventory buffers (+3 months cost)
- Recommendation: Dual-source critical stages within 5-year horizon

You gain a structured framework for conducting rigorous macroeconomic analysis—from interpreting economic indicators through scenario modeling to drafting publication-ready policy briefs. This skill systematizes your analytical workflow, ensuring consistent methodology, transparent assumptions, and evidence-backed recommendations across all analysis stages.
Receive actionable guidance on econometric model selection, specification testing, and uncertainty quantification for your economic forecasts. This skill helps you choose the right model (ARIMA, VAR, GARCH) based on your data characteristics, diagnose specification problems, validate assumptions, and communicate forecast uncertainty to stakeholders. You'll get structured workflows that turn raw economic data into defensible, statistically sound forecasts.
This skill synthesizes complex labor market data, econometric research findings, and policy implications into coherent, evidence-based narrative analysis. It structures raw statistics, regression outputs, and policy changes into compelling research briefs that explain why labor markets move. Perfect for economists, policy analysts, and researchers who need to communicate findings with both rigor and clarity.
You can produce complete documentation packages for historic structures that satisfy HABS, HAER, and NPS preservation standards. This skill combines systematic condition assessments with measured drawing specifications, photographic inventory protocols, historical research summaries, and materials analysis—all cross-referenced and organized for grant applications, National Register nominations, and long-term archival preservation. You'll generate baseline records that support restoration planning, tax credit claims, and protect against loss through comprehensive preservation documentation.
You can structure comprehensive economic analyses of environmental regulations, quantifying costs and benefits across multiple dimensions—economic, environmental, health, and social. The skill maps distributional effects to show which industries, regions, and income groups bear the burden or capture benefits. It generates evidence-based policy recommendations by comparing alternative approaches and modeling outcomes under different economic scenarios.
This skill processes international trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) data to identify economic patterns, measure comparative advantages, and synthesize evidence-based policy recommendations. You can analyze bilateral trade relationships, trace supply chain vulnerabilities, quantify sectoral FDI flows, and generate policy briefs that connect data insights to actionable governance strategies.
This skill guides you through rigorous causal inference workflows, from study design through effect estimation and sensitivity analysis. You'll select appropriate methodologies (RCTs, propensity score matching, instrumental variables, difference-in-differences), validate causal assumptions, and interpret results with proper uncertainty quantification. It helps you move beyond correlation to credible causal claims supported by statistical evidence.
This skill helps you construct econometric forecasting models from time series data without writing code. You define variables, specify relationships, and Claude generates ARIMA, VAR, and regression models with diagnostic tests.
