Narrative:
After takeoff the captain (pilot flying) could not trim the aircraft with yoke trim switches. I could not trim the aircraft with my yoke switches either. Captain manually trimmed aircraft with trim wheels. After aircraft was trimmed we did the 'electric trim inop' QRH checklist but electric would not work. Captain contacted maintenance control and dispatch and decided to continue to ZZZ at a lower altitude and speed. Dispatch sent a new flight plan for corrected fuel burn. Asked center for no large speed and altitude deviations and advised the problem; ATC supervisor decided we were an emergency. Landed without further incident.
