Industry-specific effects of antidumping activities: evidence from the US, the European Union and China

Abstract

This article analyses industry-specific effects of Antidumping (AD) activities on trade, using the system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) in dynamic panel date models. In the process of doing so, this article selected three frequent AD users, such as the US, the European Union (EU) and China. Additionally, we chose the metal/steel, chemical and plastic/rubber industries for the US cases; chemical, metal/steel and machinery/electronics industries for the EU cases; and the chemical industry for the Chinese cases. Based on the analyses conducted herein, we detected positive evidence of industry-specific impacts of AD measures imposed by the three frequent users.
