The Budget Lab at Yale utilizes three distinct approaches to estimate the counterfactual level of prices in the absence of tariffs: (1) using trend estimates reported in Figure 5, (2) using data from 2023-2024 to project forward pre-2025 prices, and (3) assuming prices would have remained at their December 2024 level and using the change in prices during 2025 through December.
