Simulation Analytical Commentary

Under Canada's enacted retaliatory framework, Consumer Goods sustains the sharpest relative demand contraction (36.0%) due to high consumer price elasticity (1.8). Meanwhile, Industrial Manufacturing generates the largest gross dollar loss ($2.64B) owing to its 40% lion's share of the bilateral scope.
