With the international trade theories as the basis,this study started with researches on the reality of agricultural products that often experience anti-dumping,carried out a careful study on the construction of business strategic supporting-system to cope with the anti-dumping so as to promote the association governance and industrial warning mechanism and to provide new strategic thinking and theoretical support for the exporters to cope with anti-dumping.

Solutions of the Growing Use of Anti-dumping Measures by Countries in Recent Decades

In recent decades, international trade has evolved into a complex system of trade barriers to ensure the protection of domestic industry and its workers interests. However as tariffs have fallen and international trade tends to be free trade, countries have found another way of protecting domestic industries from foreign competition—non-tariff protection. Among them anti-dumping is the most controversial subject that is involved in the foreign trade. This theme will analyze the reason and effect of growing use anti-dumping measures by countries in recent decades and try to give some possible solutions.

Game Analysis of Implementing Price Undertaking Agreements in Anti-dumping Disputes

The Price Undertaking Agreement is one of the strategies a company accused of dumping often adopts in dealing with anti-dumping disputes.Using static game analysis,this paper compares the impact that anti-dumping duties and price undertaking agreements may have on an importing country's social welfare and an accused company's market performance.We conclude that,compared with anti-dumping duties,price undertakings improve the importing country's social welfare and reduce the accused company's market share in the import country.We also note that,in addition to the financial benefit,price undertakings can prevent escalation of trade disputes in international trade negotiations.

Study on the use of trade barrier of anti-dumping in China

WTO allows its members to use anti-dumping barrier to combat unfair competition. Nowadays, anti-dumping barrier has been dominant protective trade measure in the world, while in China, this measure is still not fully used and at low level. For the purpose of protecting domestic industries and enhancing national welfare, China should use this barrier cautiously and construct its own anti-dumping system at the same time.

Comparison Research on Anti-dumping Duty Rates between Administrative Review and Welfare Maximization under Dynamic Game of Perfect Information

Using economics and game theory, two kinds of models have been proposed in this paper under the assumption that foreign and domestic firms behave under the condition of dynamic game of perfect information. One model is for calculating Anti-dumping rate which is obtained according to current regulations of Anti-dumping, but it is not optimal. The other is an optimal model of Anti-dumping which is obtained according to the maximum principle of domestic social welfare. Then, through the comparison of this two models in detail, several shortages have been revealed about Anti-dumping rate model based on current regulations of Anti-dumping. Finally, a suggestion is indicated that WTO and China should use the optimal model to calculate Anti-dumping rate.

Why Has China Become a Target of Anti-dumping Activities?

Although the benefits of China’s trade expansion have been distributed much more broadly than those of some early industrialized nations,China has become the primary target of anti-dumping activities.Being a new and relatively efficient new rival in the global market may be an important reason for this.On the other hand,China’s development stage and her trade structure also place her in a disadvantageous position when it comes to anti-dumping activities.

Anti-Dumping on and from China

The past years saw an increased cases of anti-dumping on China mostly from the developed countries,some from developing countries.But Pakistan,a friendly neighbor to China,recently adds up to that list of ranks for an anti-dumping investigation on China.It is the national interests that count most,after all. It gives out a signal that anti-dumping would be a frequent tool to defend or to attack. Evidences show China is a target for this trade remedy,but is also targeting others.

China,India in sharp contrast in anti-dumping action

Based on 1995-2008 data, the author researched China and India’s anti-dumping situations, examining the level ofinternational status and countries and industries involved, and analyzed the symmetry between China and India’sinitiation and the encounter of anti-dumping cases using the index of accusation symmetry (IA) and the index ofsanction symmetry (IS); based on this, the author surveyed India’s successful anti-dumping experiences and analyzedwhy China is frequently accused of anti-dumping, yet loses most anti-dumping petitions initiated against othercountries.The author then put forward policy suggestions regarding how to reduce the intensity of anti-dumpingaccusations filed against China and intensify the strength of its own anti-dumping actions filed against other dumpingnations.

Anti-dumping Policies and International Portfolio Allocation:The View from the Global Funds

Anti-dumping policies,as one of the most important nontariff measures to protect a country's economic interests,can have an impact not only on a country's trade and social welfare,but also on capital fows.Anti-dumping measures can result in increased trade costs and alterations to exchange rate risk.This study investigates the impact of anti-dumping sanctions on the international portfolio allocations of global funds.Anti-dumping policies can decrease the proportion of a fund's investment portfolio allocated to recently-sanctioned countries.Closer trade ties between the sanctioned country and the country where a fund is domiciled exacerbate the divestiture,but stronger foreign direct investment links weaken the negative association.Some country and fund heterogeneities are also discussed.We find that more developed countries are less affected by the impact of anti-dumping measures on equity fund allocations;liberalization of the economy and stable government could also mitigate the negative impact of anti-dumping sanctions.High-risk funds,such as growth funds or funds that invest in leveraged buyouts,showed the greatest response to changes in anti-dumping regulations.

Comparative analysis of trade effects of anti-dumping measures targeting China vs.those initiated by China

Using the numbers of anti-dumping cases both in China and around the world, the value of imports and exports from 1995 to 2012, and the anti-dumping index (ADI) proposed by Finger and Murray in 1999, this paper analyzes the characteristics of anti-dumping measures that target China and those imposed by China, and constructs a multiple linear regression model. We try to show the effect of anti-dumping measures in either direction on the total value of China’s trade. This paper finds that both have great impact on export trade value. The intensity of the level of anti-dumping measures to which China is subject is positively correlated with total export value since this intensity, to a certain degree, can promote China’s industrial upgrading and the increase of the export of high value-added products. This paper further analyzes different effects of anti-dumping measures based on the method of technological content classification of Lall (2000). Finally, we put forward policy suggestions on how to enhance China’s export competitiveness by overcoming the effects of antidumping measures to which we are subject and by making proper use of antidumping measures on others.

Trade Barriers and Participation in the Global Value Chain:An Empirical Study Based on Anti-dumping toward China

This paper investigates the effects of trade barriers on China s participation in the global value chain(GVC)using a thorough decomposition approach for trade volume,total exports,final exports and intermediate exports.Our econometric results indicate that anti-dumping(AD)measures initiated by trade partners have restrained the process of China s participation in the GVC.From 2000 to 2014,AD measures reduced the foreign value-added rate of total,final and intermediate exports by 4.5 to 28.7 percent,3.4 to 17 percent and 1.2 to 8.5 percent,respectively.In addition,suffering the effects of AD measures,China s GVC position index declined by 8.2 percent to 28.6 percent during this period.Moreover,AD measures have increased industries'upstream index by 3.2 to 13.7 percent over the same period.These results imply that both the petition and approval of AD cases has had a negative influence on the extent and position of China s GVC participation.

China＇s Anti-dumping Problems and Mitigation through Regional Trade Agreements

The present paper explores the opportunities for China＇s regional trade agreement （RTA） initiatives to mitigate its anti-dumping problems. The paper highlights the severity and discriminatory nature of China＇s anti-dumping problems. The high concentration of the share of anti-dumping actions taken by the top 4 and top 8 anti-dumping initiators is noted. Our finding of a weak effect of existing RTAs on mitigating China ＇s anti-dumping problems supports the argument that China could become more active in mitigating anti-dumping problems through RTA negotiations. An RTA can include a higher level of openness in exchange for an improvement in regional anti-dumping provisions. Case studies on RTAs involving the EU, the USA and India offer some precedents for offering inducements and modifying regional anti-dumping provisions. The approaches for China may lie in obtaining market economy status from intensive anti-dumping initiators at RTA levels and also altering regional anti-dumping provisions that could be put in place in exchange for some potential concessions.

The Micro-Formation Mechanism of Trade Conflicts between Large Developing Countries: India's Anti-dumping Action against China

Employing Grossman and Helpman＇s ＂protection for sale＂ model, this article uses data on anti-dumping actions from 1999 to 2009 to perform a quantitative analysis of factors influencing India＇s determinations of anti-dumping duties against China, and reveals the micro-formation mechanism of economic conflicts between China and India. We find that the political power of India＇s anti-dumping plaintiffs markedly increases the tariff level of its final determinations and that the relationship between the import penetration ratio and duty rates depends upon whether the plaintiffs are politically organized. Further, there is a significant positive correlation between India＇s anti-dumping duty rates and its unfavorable trade balance with China. This indicates that in determining anti-dumping duties, Indian authorities are clearly influenced by the political clout of their domestic interest groups. They are also motivated by the desire to keep down China and gain the upper hand in the face-off between the ＂dragon and the elephant.＂
