Injury Investigations in Antidumping and the Super-Additivity Effect: A Theoretical Explanation

Empirical evidence shows that in injury investigations in antidumping cases conducted by the United States International Trade Commission, the probability of a positive finding is higher when the number of defendant firms is larger, holding constant their total market share. In the paper we offer a theoretical explanation of this finding. We show that the presence of many exporters exacerbates the free-rider problem, which leads every firm to invest less on defense. Thus for the same market share, injury finding is more likely to be positive for many small sellers than a few large sellers. JEL no. F13, L13     

反倾销规则的悖论

WTO现行的反倾销规则基本是在1947年确定的GATT第六条的基础上，经1994年乌拉圭回合修订而来的。从其理论、行为、本质与事实上都有不尽合理的地方，其规则本身也漏洞百出。因此，WTO必须顺应时代发展的需要，加大改革的步伐，增加国际监管的力度。中国有责任敦促WTO尽快改革现有反倾销规则中不合理的部分，从根本上解决与各国之间的贸易摩擦，全面改善国际贸易环境。

Friendly Fire? The Impact of US Antidumping Enforcement on US Exporters

While there has been considerable interest in recent years in the role of macroeconomic determinants of antidumping actions by the United States and other traditional users, on the one hand, and the determinants of the growing global usage of this trade policy instrument, on the other, there has to date been no systematic exploration of the motivations for the significant number of foreign antidumping cases filed against US exporters. Several observers have remarked that the growing number of foreign users of antidumping might threaten US exporters, but the determinants of these actions have not been examined. That is the purpose of this study. We find that these actions are in part explained by macroeconomic forces and as a response to US export superiority in particular sectors, however a significant role (and larger than found for global antidumping more generally) is played by retaliation for US trade policy actions.

基于内部会计控制的中小企业反倾销应对策略

我国是世界上反倾销最大受害国,而遭遇反倾销的主体是中小企业,这类企业应诉很少或反倾销胜诉率极低,其中重要的原因是中小企业内部控制不严所造成的。本文从内部会计控制角度,分析了中小企业内部会计控制的现状及其对反倾销会计举证不利的影响,并提出了内部会计控制制度建设的对策。     

中国企业的反倾销胜诉经验对应诉美国“337”调查案件的启示

加入世贸以后,针对中国企业发起的美国“337”调查案件越来越多,“337”调查已经开始取代反倾销成为中美贸易摩擦的主要表现形式并严重制约了中国优势产业向美国的出口。因此,笔者试图在深入分析“337”调查与反倾销指控之间异同点并总结中国企业反倾销胜诉经验的基础上,为中国企业如何正确应诉美国“337”调查提出相应的对策。     

Antidumping, signaling and cheap talk

In the United States, there is evidence that domestic non-filing firms do not always support dumping/countervailing duty investigations. Absent other factors, domestic firms have an unambiguous incentive to support petitions filed by other domestic producers. We argue that in cases where the non-complainant firm is not a significant importer or exporter, the most plausible explanation is that non-support acts as a costly signal of private information. Extending the model to allow firms to engage in cheap talk, such signaling can take place even in the absence of an investigation. This result provides an explanation for the puzzling observation that fewer antidumping investigations are filed than one would expect.     

美国在反倾销措施中对中国产品的歧视

据多项指标反映,中国出口产品在美国反倾销措施中受到了歧视待遇。美国对中国产品的歧视是法律、政治、经济等因素交织的结果。美国对中国产品的歧视既影响了中国的出口,也降低了美国自身的福利水平。
