Disproportionate Patterns of Retaliatory Antidumping Filings by Developing and Developed Countries

초록

Using global antidumping cases for 72 manufacturing sectors, in 28 countries from 1991 to 2006, we investigated whether there are different patterns of retaliatory antidumping duties (AD) between the developed and developing countries. We find that the four traditional AD heavy users, which are the developed countries, such as Australia, Canada, EU and US, tend to be more sensitive to initiated AD than measured AD of exporting countries, while the five new AD heavy users, which are the developing countries, such as Argentina, Brazil, India, Mexico, South Africa, tend to be more sensitive to measured AD than initiated AD. However, the disproportionate reactions of countries disappear for the period of 1998-2006, which implies an institutional learning from past experience of retaliatory AD. For the whole period, we also find that it disappears only at the country level.
