Magister Legum - LLM (Mercantile and Labour Law)
The establishment of an anti-dumping regime has become commonplace for many a government that seeks to protect and promote its local industries. One reason which appears to be dominant by its proponents is the need to curb predatory pricing. Another reason given by the proponents of anti-dumping is the need to maintain a level playing field for players in any particular industry. With these reasons and probably many others, anti-dumping legislation began to find its way into present-day trade. Canada, with its anti-dumping statute of 1904 [An Act to Amend the Customs Tariff 1897, 4 Edw VIII, 1 Canada Statutes 111 (1904)] is credited with the first modern anti-dumping legislation. New Zealand followed in 1905 with the Agricultural Implement Manufacture, Importation and Sale Act 1905, which was primarily meant to protect New Zealand's manufacturers of agricultural implements. The Industries Preservation Act 1906 which Australia enacted was to deal with market monopoly by manufacturers but it also contained provisions on anti-dumping. The first decade of the 20th century will thus qualify to be called the introductory decade of anti-dumping legislation.

Дипломна робота присвячена питанню антидемпінгового регулювання в системі захисту від недобросовісної конкуренції. Основною метою цього дослідження є розробка пропозицій щодо подальшого антидемпінгового регулювання в Україні з урахуванням світового досвіду, економічних інтересів нашої країни, а також в умовах поступової європейської інтеграції.
The diploma work focuses on the issue of anti-dumping regulation in the system of protection from unfair competition. The main purpose of this study is to develop proposals of future anti-dumping regulation in Ukraine, taking into account world experience, economic interests of our country, and also in conditions of gradual European integration.

Antidumping policies have developed into essential trade elements in the local and global markets as they can facilitate the adoption of favorable trade policies. The introduction of antidumping policies in South Africa across GVCs has remained instrumental as they have directly influenced the social and economic structures of GVCs and local businesses operating in the region. Anti-dumping policies remain crucial in the development of a competitive and fair business environment. The study explores the impact of anti-dumping policies on GVCs in South Africa through a review of the economic, financial, cultural and social influences of the policies on the local businesses and environment. The review of anti-dumping policies and consequent impact on GVCs remained crucial in the identification of the importance and impact of policy on local and global businesses. The analysis provides an exploration of the impact of globalization and a changing business environment on the workings of an organization and the global market. The study adopts a quantitative analysis that utilized correlation analysis in identifying the impact of anti-dumping policies on GVCs. The results highlight the importance of anti-dumping policies and consequent impact GVCs in South Africa. The majority of the study respondents maintain that the adopted anti-dumping measures remained in-line with the adopted global trade objectives, but also highlighted the existence of a shortfall within the policy implementation process in South Africa. The majority of the respondents maintain that there was no need to remove the historically adopted policies as they remain relevant to the modern day trade processes. However, the study respondents maintain that several additions and changes may be incorporated to cater to the changing trade needs presented by the market. The adoption of recommendations would facilitate the development of a strong trade policy that would promote the strengthening of regional ties. Therefore, the majority of respondents remained in favor of the AD policies in relation to competitive policies and promoted the adoption of additional policies relating to the reduction of labor disruptions, improved infrastructure and the education system. The development of effective manufacturing and implementation systems together with adoption of effective logistical processes would facilitate the adoption and success of the existent trade regulations.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Recently countries have become more aware of the potential anti-competitive effects of anti-dumping measures. This is mostly due to the view that anti-dumping measures, as trade policy instruments, are at odds with the objectives of competition policy. According to many economic writers the only rational economic justification for anti-dumping measures is predatory dumping as an extreme form of price discrimination. Apart from the dramatic change in the economic justification for the use of anti-dumping measures over the last decades, there has also been a significant change in the countries that implement these measures. Since the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations there has been a shift from developed countries to developing countries being the main users of these policy tools. In the last couple of years the member countries of the Southern African Customs Union have been under increased pressure by private firms to enable the use of anti-dumping measures on intra-regional goods trade. However, the appropriateness of utilising these measures on intra-regional trade in the context of a custom union has been a contentious issue in recent economic debate. These measures erect trade barriers among the member states which are against the basic premise of a customs union. This has resulted in most economists calling for the prohibition and replacement of anti-dumping measure with either coordinated domestic or harmonised regional competition policies. In developing the regional and national policies on anti-dumping the SACU member states can follow two main stream approaches. The first is the incorporation of various competition principles into anti-dumping rules to limit the negative welfare and anti-competitive effects of utilising anti-dumping measures, while the second is the abolition of anti-dumping measures in the region which is then replaced by competition policy. The option best suited for SACU depends on the differing viewpoints on implementing anti-dumping measures in a customs union. However, irrespective of which policy combination is chosen, regional and national polices and authorities will have to be created, adapted and/or amended in order to have an effective interaction between anti-dumping and competition policies applicable to intra-regional trade.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Lande het ontlangs meer bewus geword van die moontlike negatiewe uitwerking wat maatreëls teen storting van goedere in markte kan hê op plaaslike en internasionale mededinging. Dit is hoofsaaklik as gevolg van die siening dat teen-stortingsmaatreëls, as instrumente van handelsbeleid, se doelwitte teenstrydig is met die van mededingingsbeleid. Volgens vele ekonomiese skrywers is die enigste rasionele ekonomiese regverdiging vir teen-stortingsmaatreëls predatoriese storting as ‘n uiterse vorm van prysdiskriminasie. Afgesien van die dramatiese verandering in die ekonomiese regverdiging vir die gebruik van teen-storingsmaatreëls oor die laaste dekades, het daar ook ‘n beduidende verandering plaasgevind in die lande wat hierdie maatreëls om goedere handel implementeer. Sedert die Uruguay Rondte van Multi-laterale Handelsooreenkomste het daar ‘n verskuiwing plaasgevind van ontwikkelde lande na ontwikkellende lande as die belangrikste gebruikers van hierdie beleidsinstrumente. In die laaste paar jaar het private firmas die lidlande van die Suider-Afrikaanse Doeane-Unie onder toenemede druk begin plaas vir die gebruik van teen-storingsmaatreëls op invoere vanaf die res van die streek. Alhoewel, huidiglik is die toepaslikehid van die gebruik van hierdie maatreëls op handel, in die konteks van ‘n doeane-unie, steeds ‘n omstrede kwessie binne ekonomiese dabatte. Hierdie maatreëls rig handelsversperrings tussen lidlande op wat teen die basiese veronderstelling van ‘n doeane-unie is. As gevolg hiervan is die meeste ekonome van die opinie dat teen-storingsmaatreëls vervang moet word met óf gekoördineerde binnelandse of geharmoniseerde streeks- mededingingsbeleid. Die SADU-lidlande kan twee benaderings volg in die ontwikkeling van streeks- en nasionale beleid oor teen-storingsmaatreëls. Die eerste is the insluiting van verskillende mededingingsbeginsels in bepalings wat handel oor teen-storingsmaatreëls om sodoende die moontlike negatiewe gevolge van hierdie maatreëls te beperk. Die tweede opsie is om teen-storingsmaatreëls op streeks-invoere met bededingingsbeleid te vervang. Die mees gepasde opsie sal af hang van die verskillende standpunte rondom die toepaslikheid van teen-stortingsmaatreëls in ‘n doeane-unie. Alhoewel, ongeag die beleidskombinasie wat gekies word sal nasionale en streeks-beleid en owerhede geskep, aangepas en/of gewysig moet word ten einde ‘n effektiewe interaksie tussen teen-storingsmaatreëls en mededingingsbeleid binne SADU te verseker.

Resumo: Esse trabalho compreende dois ensaios: um deles se dedica a avaliar os ganhos de bem-estar obtidos pelos agentes brasileiros durante a redução de tarifa para o setor automobilístico nos mandatos de Collor/Franco, e o outro avalia os efeitos sentidos pelas exportações brasileiras quando são mencionadas ou não em uma investigação antidumping. O primeiro é justificado com base em uma avaliação dos benefícios gerados em um breve período de atípico regime tarifário liberalizante, uma ocasião rara desde que o Brasil optou por industrializar-se via substituição de importações. O segundo ensaio se justifica por uma melhor avaliação acerca dos efeitos gerados pela utilização desse mecanismo de proteção comercial relativamente recente, e nesse caso específico, acerca dos efeitos gerados pelo uso do instrumento antidumping por terceiros contra os exportadores brasileiros no período de 1991 a 1994-07. O primeiro ensaio encontrou ganhos significativos para (consumidores + produtores) de 1991 a 1994/07, considerando uma queda nas tarifas a partir do valor em 1990 (em 2014 BRL 21,442 bilhões). No mais, também foi calculado os ganhos que poderiam ter sido gerados caso as tarifas tivesse caído para zero no mesmo período (em 2014 BRL 191,556 bilhões). No que concerne ao segundo ensaio, foi encontrado um efeito relevante sobre as exportações brasileiras quando o país é citado em uma petição, para ambos os casos em que o processo terminou com aplicação de direito definitivo e os casos terminados com aplicação de direito preliminar somente. Aquele gerou uma forte queda nos anos um e quarto após o início do processo, enquanto este gerou uma forte queda no ano um e uma forte recuperação no ano quatro. No mais, foi encontrada uma possível evidência de desvio de comércio na situação em que o Brasil não foi mencionado no processo, com as exportações brasileiras crescendo. Ainda, foi também encontrado que o setor "metais" foi o setor mais afetado em quantidade pelas investigações, e que esse também foi mais afetado pela redução das exportações brasileiras em comparação com outros setores. Palavras-chave: Análise de bem-estar. Indústria automobilística. Antidumping
Abstract: This work comprises two essays: one of them is dedicated to evaluating the welfare gains Brazilian agents obtained during the Collor/Franco reduction of tariffs for the automobile sector during their mandates, and the other one evaluates the effects Brazilian exports face when they are mentioned or not in an antidumping procedure. The former is justified on the grounds of evaluating the benefits arisen in a brief period of atypical liberalized trade regime, which has been a rare occasion since Brazil opted to industrialize via import substitution. The second one is justified by means of better assessing the effects of this relatively new trade policy, in this specific case, as to the effects of other parties’ use of the policy against Brazilian exporters in a period that spans from 1994 to 2015. The first essay found a significant gain for (consumers + producers) from 1991 to 1994/07, considering a fall in tariffs from 1990’s level of tariffs (in 2014 BRL 21.442 billion). In addition, it was calculated the gains that could have been generated if tariffs had fallen to zero in that very period(in 2014 BRL 191.556 billion). As for the second essay, it was found a relevant effect on Brazilian exports when the country is mentioned in a petition, both for the cases where the process ended with the application of definitive measures and the cases where there was the application of provisional measures. The former case generated a strong fall in years one and four after the beginning of the process, whereas the latter one generated a strong fall in year one and a strong recovery in year four. In addition, it was found a possible evidence of trade diversion in the situation where Brazil was not mentioned in the process, with Brazilian exports rising. Furthermore, it was also found that the "metals" sector was the most affected sector in the amount of cases initiated, and that its exports are more strongly affected by antidumping processes than other sectors. Keywords: Welfare analysis. Automobile industry. Antidumping.

The aim of this thesis is to analyze China-EU trade relations with focus on the period after 1975, when the diplomatic relations between China and EU developed. The research questions are (i) what is the driver in the development of China-EU trade relations? This question is subdivided into two questions: how do economic factors impact on China-EU trade relations and how do political factors influence China-EU trade relations? (ii) what are the existing problems in the current China-EU relations? (iii) what are the future prospects?

To carry out the research questions and fulfill the aim of the paper, a qualitative and quantitative method has been chosen in order to interpret and understand China-EU traderelations. The theoretical framework of this study is neo-realism and neo-liberalism with particular attention focusing on political issues and economic issues respectively.

A number of conclusions can be drawn from research. First, China-EU trade has developed very rapidly. Trade relations between the two sides are good. They are the third largest traders with each other. Secondly, the momentum for the development of China-EU trade relations is rooted in their common interests in both the political and economic fields. Thirdly, the prospect of China-EU trade relations is promising. These factors include (i) the establishment of a foundation to promote the healthy development of China-EU trade (for example, a set of legal framework provides both sides with the legal basis for their economic relations); and (ii) the prediction of future political and economic environment as favorable to the development of China-EU trade relations.

All factors show optimistically that China-EU trade will continue to prosper. The China-EU trade relationship is not without friction and the author theorizes that there are some potential danger factors; such as the Taiwan issue and trade disputes that may shadow the future development of China-EU trade relations and cannot be overlooked. At the end the author puts forward four suggestions to promote the further development of China-EU trade relations: (i) maintain the existing high-level of exchanges such as the annual EU-China summit; (ii) set up a warning mechanism to prevent trade disputes escalating; (iii) provide a method for establishing negotiations; (iv) prevent the politicizing of trade relations, for example, do not connect human right issue with trade relations. Unrelated issues should be addressed separately.

No longo caminho para a consolidação da abertura comercial brasileira a defesa comercial teve seu papel relegado quase sempre ao segundo plano. Ainda assim, houve o momento em que as medidas antidumping se tornaram parte fundamental da política comercial brasileira. Com o crescimento do número de medidas impostas, a exposição da política comercial exterior brasileira era inevitável. Portanto, a pesquisa procurou descrever a relação que a aplicação de medidas antidumping no Brasil mantém com seu propósito original. Mas o que faz de um país protecionista, ou melhor, quais elementos fariam do Brasil um país mais ou menos protecionista quando o tema são as medidas antidumping. Nesse sentido, a tese defendida diverge dos principais estudos e foi bem sucedida em demonstrar que apenas os números e modelos genéricos não são capazes de explicar um comportamento setorial específico. Dentro da abordagem proposta, a adição de um estudo de caso tornou possível uma fuga do método convencional de pesquisa dessa área e foi decisivo para lançar luz sobre a complexidade que envolve a aplicação do Acordo Antidumping. Conforme os resultados apontaram, percebemos que parece haver mais elementos que apontam o contrário do que os números dizem. Primeiro, o Brasil não reúne reclamações contra sua política de aplicação de direitos antidumping, uma vez que as reclamações no Sistema de Solução de Controvérsias se concentraram em condenar as políticas de crédito e fiscais, leia-se subsídios. Outro ponto de contato foi a modernização do marco que regula as investigações contra práticas desleais, com o estabelicimento de procedimentos mais detalhados que diminuiram a margem discricionária da autoridade investigadora. A criação de um Grupo de Interesse Público e a adoção do princípio do menor direito (lesser duty) como regra, caracterizam uma conduta reconhecidamente liberalizante. Uma outra hipótese protecionista foi afastada, uma vez os resultados apontaram que as importações do Brasil dependem muito pouco do câmbio. Portanto, surgiu algo como a “falácia do câmbio”, uma vez que ela é uma explicação consolidada para o fenômeno como um todo, mas sem poder de explicar um caso específico. Quando estudado à luz do caso dos calçados, o câmbio teve muito menos contribuição que a renda, sendo praticamente inexpressivo para determinar o comportamento da importação de calçados da China. Outro ponto ressaltado, foi a presença do efeito desvio de comércio na direção de outros exportadores, caracterizando uma postura de defesa mas não protecionista. Esses pontos quando reunidos ressaltam que a defesa comercial não visou as importações como um todo, mas apenas o produto objeto do dumping uma vez que o mercado deixado pelos chineses foi absorvido pelos demais exportadores. Finalmente, pela reação dos produtores e importadores domésticos, com a criação do MOVE enquanto movimento de resistência, entendemos que a concorrência dos calçados esportivos foi a fonte do problema.
In the long way towards the Brazilian trade opening consolidation, the role of trade defense has been frequently put aside. Even though, there has been a moment in which anti-dumping measures have become a fundamental aspect of the Brazilian trade policy. Given the growing number of measures imposed, the exposure of the Brazilian foreign trade policy was inevitable. Hence, the research has looked for describing the relationship that the application of anti-dumping measures in Brazil maintains with its original purpose. However, what does make a country protectionist; or even better, which elements would turn Brazil into a more or less protectionist country when anti-dumping measures are the subject. In this sense, the thesis diverges from the main studies, and it has succeeded in showing that just numbers and generic models are not able to explain a specific sectoral behavior. Within the proposed approach, the addition of a case study has conveyed to an escape from this area's conventional research method, and it was decisive in order to enlighten the complexity that surrounds the Anti-dumping Agreement application. As the results have shown, it was perceived that more elements seem to exist, showing the opposite from the numbers. Firstly, Brazil does not collect complaints against its anti-dumping rights application, once the complaints in the Dispute Settlement Understanding have focused on condemning credit and fiscal policies; meaning subsides. The modernization of the mark that rules investigations against unfair practices has been another point of contact, through the establishment of more detailed procedures, which have reduced the discretionary margin of the investigative authority. Both the creation of a Group of Public Interest and the adoption of the lesser duty principle as a rule, characterize a conduct recognized as liberalizing. Another protectionist hypothesis was pushed away, once the results have shown that Chinese importations by Brazil depend very little on the exchange rate or the industry cycle. Therefore, something like “exchange fallacy” has arisen, what is a consolidated explanation to the phenomenon as a whole; however it cannot explain a specific case. When analyzed under the footwear scope, exchange has had a much lower contribution than income, been nearly irrelevant in determining the behavior of shoe importation from China. Another highlighted aspect has been the trade deviation effect towards other exporters, characterizing a non protectionist defense position. When reunited, these points emphasize that trade defense did not aimed importations as a whole, but only the product that is an object of dumping, once the market left by the Chinese has been absorbed by other exporters. Finally, given the producers and domestic importers reaction, through the creation of MOVE as a resistance movement, it is this research understanding that the imported competition on sports footwear was the core of it all.

The goal of this thesis is to describe the most important trade policy instruments that have been used in international trade in textiles since the second half of the 20th century, and to deduce the implications of the instruments on the textile sector, mainly the European one. The thesis introduces the classification of instruments in the trade policy used in the international trade in textiles and economic consequences of chosen instruments; brief characteristics of evolution of international trade in textiles since the second half of the 20th century, change in localization and sector structure of the textiles and clothing industry and main trends in its evolution. There are described most important multilateral agreements concerning the trade in textiles: Short-Term Arrangement regarding International Trade in Cotton Textiles, Long-Term Arrangement regarding International Trade in Cotton Textiles, Multifibre Arrangement, Agreement on Textiles and Clothing and current trends in contractual instruments followed by autonomous instruments such as anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures and particular cases. The thesis includes consequences of the instruments mentioned above. In the last chapter, the trends in the evolution of instruments are summarized and the reflection on possible solutions for the European, and thus also Czech textile and clothing industry, is mentioned.

Abstract The Analysis of Effects of Anti-Dumping Policy －Case Study of Art Paper Industry－ The imposition of anti-dumping duty is a significant approach for the government to secure trade and stabilize the development of domestic industry under unfair trade behavior at lower price. Nevertheless, there are no clear measures to identify industrial injury under WTO current system, so this result in the difference explanation to recognize the industrial damage among countries. Moreover, each country contain different thought about whether the application of anti-dumping case would jeopardize the competition of domestic market. The art paper industry was chosen to be as one of my case studies. For the precise and better outcome, This research used the COMPAS model to determine how much damage could occure in art paper industries while one subject prosecutes a lawsuit. With the method of partial equilibrium analysis, I analyzed change of economy after the imposition of anti-dumping duty and anticipated my indearor can provide a good reference to establish the strategy of industrial improvement. Eventurally, I would like to offer this research my knowledge to the government in order to develop an essential protection measures. The empirical study of COMPAS model showed that; （1）The effects after the imposition of anti-dumping duty are 63 million dollar, which is next to the result of balance of payments, 814 million dollar. This explains the producers can gain more profits from the welfare of consumers because the imposition of anti-dumping duty. （2）The average market share of anti-dumping product is 10.5％. After the government imposes 41.81％ anti-dumping duty, the market share reduces to 1.55％. This shows the market share of anti-dumping product and the tax rate of anti-dumping are at reverse change. （3）The normal price of imports is 33.8 per kg but this drops to 27.73 per kg after dumping. The total price of domestic like products decreases from 5.21 million dollar to 5.02 million dollar, when the damage happen, the upstream industries could suffer some negative effect. On the contrary, the downstream industries may gain some positive effect. To sum up, the imposition of antidumping duty of art paper industry creates a positive protective effects.

This study focuses on the effect of anti-dumping tax on the renewable companies. We observed the reaction of abnormal returns on the Taiwanese solar stocks from eight anti-dumping events. Five events were those US announced anti-dumping tax on Taiwan. Two events were those EU announced anti-dumping tax on Taiwan. Finally, one event for US announced anti-dumping tax on China. The purposes of this study are summarized into five points. Firstly, we study whether abnormal returns are negative if the announcement of anti-dumping tax investigation? Secondly, we test whether abnormal returns are positive if the verdict of anti-dumping tax is favorable? We test whether abnormal returns are negative if the verdict of anti-dumping tax is unfavorable? In addition, we test whether the abnormal returns will be significantly different if solar chain values are different? Also we test whether the abnormal returns will be significantly different because of different nations? Finally, we test whether Taiwanese solar stocks abnormal returns are positive if American’s announcement of anti-dumping tax on China? The study finds the results: 1.The abnormal returns are negative if the announcement of anti-dumping tax investigation. 2.The abnormal returns are positive if the verdict of anti-dumping tax is favorable. On the other hand, the abnormal returns are negative if the verdict of anti-dumping tax is unfavorable. 3.The abnormal returns will be significantly different if solar chain values are different. 4.The abnormal returns will be significantly different because of different nations. 5.Taiwanese solar stocks abnormal returns are positive if American’s announcement of anti-dumping tax on China.

As Taiwan has officially been one of the WTO members since Jan.1, 2002, the dumping relief application of import goods should adhere to WTO’s related regulations. The Government authority needs to set up more sophisticated law and review system as the legitimate and explicit criterion to handle and help any dispute between applicants and related persons. Above all, at this moment, the Taiwanese government has been exerting great efforts to appeal enterprises to stay in Taiwan. Naturally, the relief review system should be capable to protect local enterprises against dumping whenever necessary. In view of few successful domestic anti-dumping cases in history, I adopt the content of a real cement anti-dumping case happened in 2001 as weight-bearing point in my thesis, and review the function and adequacy of current anti-dumping relief application system. It is expected to confer on present anti-dumping handling situation and further to bring up my suggestions through my study.

While international economic development and trade liberalization have risen in popularity and international commercial exchange, competition and trading friction have increased day by day, various kinds of non-tariff and trade relief measures, such as the imposition of anti-dumping tax, have become the industry protection and trade relief tool commonly used worldwide. They are also utilized as the resort to bring down competition pressure. In the meager-profit age where price competition is keen, the development of scale economy has turned out to be the only choice for businesses to survive. However, the development degree may vary from country to country and there is also a gap in the estimates of production costs, thus, the imposition of anti-dumping tax has been utilized as the resort to protect individual country’s industry and hinder outside competitors. With high flexibility in price, short-life cycle in products and evident business cycle, Taiwan’s high-tech industry is more likely to be accused of anti-dumping which may further negatively affect our industry development and international competitiveness. By collecting and compiling the literature, this paper tries to trace the legislation and norms of the anti-dumping tax set in international organizations, the EU, the US and Taiwan. At the same time, it also compiles the legislation and imposition standards of the West’s anti-dumping tax laws so as to conclude the characteristics and effects of imposing anti-dumping tax, and properly use anti-dumping measures to get a balance between national industry development and fair trading. In addition, through the compilation of industrial policies applied in the past, this paper also investigates the achievement made in each stage of the application of our industry policies. Also, by referring to high-tech guidance measures and relevant legislation history and probing the impact of anti-dumping tax on the development of our high-tech industry, this paper seeks for the balance between trade protection and fair competition and investigates how our government has incorporated trade relief tool into its industry policies to maintain our national competition, create new industrial opportunities, protect local industry and reinforce consumption and the public’s welfare. On the other hand, in view of the severe international competition confronted by our high-tech industry, this paper also indicates the trend of the anti-dumping cases developed in recent years so as to be aware of the trade relief measures and related industry policies instituted by various countries. Taking the anti-dumping accusation cases occurring to Korean and our DRAM suppliers and American Mircon Technology, Inc. as examples, this paper investigates the causes of the anti-dumping accusations occurring to the high-tech industry, tax imposition standards, and industry characteristics, compiles the counter-measures taken by the government and enterprises, and finds out the impact of the imposition of anti-dumping tax on the industry. In the meantime, as far as the industry development is concerned, this paper also submits conclusive recommendations to the government and enterprises in an attempt to reduce our chances to be accused of anti-dumping. This paper concludes the investigation mentioned in the above chapters and sections, induces the results and finally proposes a number of recommendations trying to get the balance between our industry development and trade liberalization, sustain the development of our high-tech industry, enhance our international competitiveness as a result.

This paper research investigates the impact of anti-dumping policy on the import volume of shrimp product in the United States, also analysis the trade diversion effect of the U.S anti-dumping duty in the period of time from January 1989 to December 2017. The research compares the impact of the anti-dumping policy between two main groups, the first one is the subject countries including Thailand, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, China and Brazil, the second group is other 72 countries which are not the subject of the anti-dumping policy. This study applies the OLS model, the fixed-effects model (FE) and random-effects model (RE), using the panel data estimation method with 7 independent variables, including the anti-dumping duty, dummy 1, dummy 2, unit price, exchange rate, gross domestic product and market share to analysis the impact on import volume and the trade diversion effect of anti-dumping duty. This research comes up with the results that the anti-dumping duty has the significant negative impact to the import volume of shrimp product from both subject countries and non-subject countries. There is also a trade diversion effect after the US has imposed the anti-dumping duty, resulting in increasing the export volume in shrimp product of the subject countries to the third market. Keywords: Anti-dumping duty, Shrimp, Trade diversion.

Since the Vietnamese government promoted "Reform Policy" (Doi Moi) in 1986, it has been a border country to an autonomous industrialized country. This policy has completely reversed Vietnam''s political, economic, and social development. This study uses the annual statistics of the International Trade Centre and interviews with Taiwan companies at Vietnam and Taiwan related suppliers to discuss the political and economic factors that determine the AD measures, for understanding the changes of the stainless-steel industry in Vietnam before/after anti-dumping policy was implemented at Vietnam in 2014. The study found that in the process of shifting from the planned economic system to market liberalization, the developing country would be under the pressure of trade imbalances and tariff reductions by joining the regional economy and the signing of the FTA. Vietnam government complies with the principles of international trade WTO and GATT, uses anti-dumping measures to adjust the pressure of competition in response to foreign products, and modifies the entry thresholds of specific countries and products to protect domestic infant industry which also depending on the government’s choice at the time. In stainless-steel industry, anti-dumping measures have become a pressure-adjusting valve in the process of anxiously joining the international market, favorable negotiating bargaining chips and rationalization. To prevent the anti-dumping policy from harming stainless steel-related manufacturers, it is recommended that Taiwanese businesses at Vietnam should focus on the domestic demand market and make more use of the advantage then setting up points to look forwarder for foreign markets. Stainless-steel suppliers in Taiwan can also use the WTO dispute resolution procedures to counter malicious accusations and establish a dumping warning platform to prevent the possibility of suspected dumping. Furthermore, if new supplier joining in Vietnamese stainless-steel industry someday, or the different style of each countries’ leaders will how to adopt in economy issues that will cause positive or negative effects in this industry. These are worthy to research and follow up to applied by Taiwanese companys at Vietnam and to whom target southern markets.
