Tariff-jumping Investment

Tariff-jumping investment in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, tariff-jumping investment is: investment in a production facility in another country in order to overcome high tariff barriers or other border measures. Views differ whether trade and investment in such cases are complementary, or whether tariff-jumping replaces trade. The entries on trade policy are here. A view held by many is that trade and investment are now integrated in nearly all cases, and that the distinction can in practical terms easily be overdrawn. See also tariff escalation.[1]
