Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Paper Description
During the last decades, the United States has applied increasingly high trade protection against China. We combine detailed information on US antidumping (AD) duties â?? the most widely used trade barrier â?? with US input-output data to study the effects of trade protection against China along supply chains. To deal with endogeneity concerns, we propose a new instrument for AD duties, which combines exogenous variation in the political importance of industries across electoral terms with their historical experience in AD proceedings. We estimate the effects of protection on directly exposed and indirectly exposed (downstream and upstream) industries. We find that AD duties have a net negative impact on US jobs: they reduce employment growth in downstream industries, with no significant effects in protected and upstream industries. We provide evidence for the mechanisms behind the negative effects of protection along supply chains: AD duties decrease imports and raise prices in protected industries, increasing production costs in downstream industries.
