【世界说】以加关税重振美国经济？国际企业及专家：代价还得美国自己付

中国日报网12月10日电美国当选总统特朗普近期表示，将对墨西哥和加拿大进入美国的所有产品征收25%的关税，并宣布将对中国商品额外征收10%的关税。对此，“今日日本”（Japan Today）网站刊文称，“关税大棒”再度挥起，带来的将是美国物价的上涨，也有悖于让美国家庭摆脱通货膨胀的承诺。文章指出，根据最新的人口普查数据，美国是全球最大的商品进口国，而墨西哥、中国和加拿大则是美国排名前三的商品供应国。经济学家普遍认为，加关税的做法令企业别无选择，只得将这些额外产生的成本转嫁到消费者身上，导致食品、服装、汽车以及其他商品的售价大幅上涨。 “今日日本”网站文章截图位于华盛顿的贸易组织农产品经销商协会（Produce Distributors Association）表示，当其他国家实施反制时，关税则会拉高新鲜水果和蔬菜的价格，从而对美国农民造成伤害。该协会主席艾伦·西格尔（Alan Siger）分析称：“关税会扭曲市场，并沿供应链推高价格，最终导致的结果就是消费者在买单的时候支付更多费用。” 美国蒸馏酒协会（The Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. ）警告则称，对龙舌兰或加拿大威士忌征收关税并不会增加美国的就业机会，因为它们属于特色产品，只能在原产国生产。“对来自南北方邻国的烈性酒产品征收关税将损害美国消费者的利益，并最终导致美国餐饮酒店等行业的失业问题。” 美联社一项针对超过12万美国选民进行的调查还显示，在大选之前，就有约70%的人对食品价格表示担心。美国零售联合会（NRF）表示，特朗普在竞选时提议的关税将使美国消费者每年在服装、玩具、家具、家用电器、鞋类和旅游用品上多花费460亿至780亿美元。而对于希望购买新车的美国人来说，他们同样可能看到价格的大幅上涨。普华永道（PwC）美国汽车行业负责人C·J·费恩（C.J. Finn）指出，大部分关税最终都将转嫁给消费者，这就意味着会有更多的消费者“被高昂的价格挤出市场”。华尔街投行伯恩斯坦（Bernstein）分析师丹尼尔·罗斯卡（Daniel Roeska）在给投资者的一份报告中说，关税还将给美国工业生产带来无法预想的严重损害。据悉，特朗普加征关税的威胁一出，汽车股便遭受打击，尤其美国通用汽车公司的估价下跌超过8%。尽管目前尚不清楚这些加税举措一旦实施会持续多久，但美国投资研究机构晨星公司（Morningstar）分析师大卫·惠斯顿（David Whiston）认为，汽车制造商在短期内可能不会采取任何行动，因为他们无法迅速对汽车生产的地点做出调整。美国彼得森国际经济研究所（Peterson Institute for International Economics）资深研究员马丽·洛夫里（Mary Lovely）批评指出，关税威胁或令美国成为国际贸易中“不稳定的伙伴”。另据英国广播公司（BBC）的文章，尽管一些专家认为特朗普的关税举措最终可能没有其宣称的那么激进，但无论如何这些威胁已经产生了负面经济后果。布鲁金斯学会（Brookings Institution）汉密尔顿项目（Hamilton Project）主任温迪·埃德尔伯格（Wendy Edelberg）说：“不管这是不是虚张声势，都会对经济产生影响。”她指出，即便特朗普的威胁只是口头上的，美国民众仍然会面临更高的商品价格，而囤货行为则可能使一些企业陷入困境，导致部分商品出现短缺。此外，企业对于未来的不确定还会导致未来几个月经济增长的放缓。英国广播公司网站文章截图文章还提到，虽然特朗普及其顾问认为关税将有助于重振美国制造业并推动新的就业，但企业和经济学家都警告称“这是有代价的”。加拿大太阳能制造商Heliene的首席执行官马丁·波切塔卢克（Martin Pochtaruk）说，2018年特朗普对美国以外制造的太阳能电池板征收关税时，公司不得不承担随之而来的代价，几近破产。现如今，他们正在同所有的客户进行沟通，但“焦虑很多”。对于美国的小企业来说，他们几乎没有额外的资金来抵御经济的不确定性，手袋设计师谢里尔·摩西（Sherrill Mosee）的自创品牌就是美国众多受关税举措潜在影响的小企业之一。作为面临激烈竞争的小品牌，摩西表示自己并不具备提高价格的优势。“这将会非常艰难。”她说，“一路下来都会非常不容易。” （编译：高琳琳编辑：马芮韩鹤）【责任编辑：高琳琳】
