Reform of and Improvements to China's Foreign Trade System

Before China adopted the reform and opening up policy in 1978,its foreign trade was governed by mandatory planning,and the state absorbed both the profits and the losses of enterprises.Since the reform and opening up policy was initiated,China's foreign trade system has completed the transformation from mandatory planning to giving full play to the fundamental role of the market-from state monopoly to full openness,and from indiscriminate egalitarianism to giving enterprises discretionary management power and making them responsible for their own profits and losses.During the negotiations over the restoration of its GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) membership and entry into the WTO,and after it became a WTO member,China gradually adopted international trade practices,and established a unified,open foreign trade system compatible with multilateral trade rules.

Counter-measures of China＇s Export Enterprises under the Status of Anti-dumping--Reflection on the Sino-U.S tire Special Protection Case

The global recession has spread; Chinese foreign trade enterprises have encountered more frequent disputes overseas. China＇s unique weight in today＇s international trade patterns, as well as its competitive exports, make China a major target of dispute litigations under various names. Some of these eases go beyond the terms of WTO rules and the scope of relief provisions. The resurgence of trade protectionism trend seems to be making a comeback.     

积极应对后WTO时代绿色壁垒对我国农产品出口的影响

加入世贸组织以来,绿色壁垒逐步取代了关税和配额,成为我国农产品出口面临的最大障碍。面对复杂苛刻的技术法规、标准和质量认证制度,要迅速熟悉和掌握WTO的“绿色”规则、应承担的义务和赋予成员的有关权利,加快制定有关法律法规和技术标准,确定与国际接轨的我国产品标准体系。政府和企业要采取多种措施积极应对并最终跨过后WTO时代的新贸易壁垒。     

非关税措施的国际比较及其对我国的启示

在关税壁垒不断削弱的背景下,非关税措施逐渐成为各国实行贸易战略最有效的工具之一。从世界主要贸易市场的非关税措施及其引发的政治经济效应看,我国在发展对外贸易中应着力实现海关规则的国际化,履行取消配额、补贴的承诺,充分利用世贸组织为我们提供的保障措施,并建立更有效的非关税措施体系。     

我国贸易条件下降的原因及对策分析

通过对我国1997-2004年贸易条件的计算及分析,发现近年来我国贸易条件有下降的趋势。我国贸易条件下降的原因同贸易条件恶化论所说的有所不同,主要与我国的贸易方式、出口市场过于集中以及加入世贸组织后我国关税的大幅度下降有关,在分析这些原因的基础上,给出了相应的对策建议。     

WTO在环境保护中的作用及环境谈判对我国的影响

尽管WTO不是环保组织,但WTO同贸易在三个层次上产生交集。WTO原则和规则对应对气候变化也非常重要。贸易与环境谈判是正在进行的WTO多哈回合多边贸易谈判中的一个重要内容,各成员正致力于削减或取消环保和服务的关税和非关税壁垒。目前关于削减环保产品的关税和非关税壁垒的方法是各方关注和争论的焦点。中国尽管作为发展中国家的一员,但却位列全球环境货物贸易大国之列。这种双重性决定了中国在贸易和环境谈判中的独特立场。     

加入 WTO十年来中国对外反倾销实践分析

自2001年加入WTO十年来,中国成为了目前世界上对外实施反倾销最多的国家之一,本文将对十年来我国对外反倾销的实践做出总结分析。我国的反倾销实践在调查时间、调查的结果、反倾销税率、反倾销的国别与产品方面,与世界其他国家相比既有共通之处,也有自己的特点。而在政策效果方面,我国的反倾销措施对于国内产业的救济和涉案产品的进口限制收效显著;同时,反倾销带来的进口转移、直接投资规避现象等也比较明显。     

进口需求、市场准入与我国农产品的贸易逆差

我国加入世贸组织以来,于2003-2004年间出现了农产品的贸易逆差,本文分析了农产品贸易逆差的构成及其产生原因。大豆、棉花、食用油等是我国农产品贸易逆差的主要构成产品,这些农产品进口价格和进口数量都出现了增长,而相关产业的发展导致这些农产品进口需求猛增,致使农产品贸易逆差不断扩大。另外,我国农产品关税的大幅削减以及配额管制农产品市场准入机会的扩大,也是农产品贸易逆差进一步拉大的一个重要原因。     

对优化我国入世后关税保护结构的再思考

在以中间产品为主的国际贸易商品结构中,有效保护率更为准确地反映了关税对国内产业的保护。入世后,在履行世贸组织(WTO)协议的关税调整过程中,我国的关税有效保护结构呈现出优化的倾向,但也存在着一些问题。今后,应根据各产业部门在国际贸易中比较利益优势的动态变化对关税的有效保护结构加以完善,同时防止过度的有效保护,解决资源基础产业的负有效保护问题,避免利用高关税抑制非生活必需消费品的进口而导致的效率损失。     

从贸易争端中获得利益是关键——中国影响汽车零部件进口措施案分析

2008年7月18日,世界贸易组织(WTO)争端解决机构专家组公布了中国影响汽车零部件进口措施案的裁决报告,我国在此次争端中败诉。我们认为,不应以贸易争端胜诉或败诉作为判断中国应对WTO是否成功的关键,从贸易争端中获得经济利益是最重要的,我国应该继续利用WTO争端解决机制为我国汽车整车产业和零部件产业提供支持。同时我们也应注意采取更有策略性的贸易措施来保护国内产业。     

Multilateral stability and efficiency of trade agreements: A network formation approach

We study the endogenous network formation of bilateral and multilateral trade agreements by means of hypergraphs and introduce the equilibrium concept of multilateral stability. We consider multicountry settings with a firm in each country that produces a homogeneous good and competes as a Cournot oligopolist in each market. Under endogenous tariffs, we find that a multilateral trade agreement governing the rules and norms of tariff setting, that is the WTO/GATT regime itself, together with a bilateral preferential trade agreement (PTA) is multilaterally stable. We also find that the existence of the WTO is necessary for the stability of the trading system. We further analyse the impact of PTAs on multilateral tariffs within the WTO. We find that the formation of PTAs increases countries' incentives for multilateral tariff reduction.     

试论技术壁垒对国际贸易的影响及对策

中国加入世界贸易组织后,可以在WTO框架内参与国际分工,充分利用中国的比较优势参与国际竞争,利用WTO规则,开展国际贸易,这将极大促进中国对外贸易的发展。 但随着经济全球化和贸易自由化的发展,各国限制贸易的手段也发生了极大的变化,从以关税壁垒为主要手段发展为以非关税壁垒为主要手段,在非关税壁垒中,进口配额、 “自动”出口配额、进口许可证、外汇管制等传统手段已被以技术法规、技术标准、合格评定程序为主要内容的技术壁垒逐渐取代,技术壁垒正成为国际贸易壁垒的主体。
