The Practice of Global Anti-Dumping Protection Against Individual Economies: Evidence from Ukraine

Abstract

Crisis processes in the global economy necessitate additional support for national producers and may provoke an increase in the number of initiated anti-dumping investigations. The study found that anti-dumping measures are no longer mere substitutes for liberalized basic customs tariffs in their scope. They are independent protectionist instruments that actively discriminate against foreign competitors on the basis of their calculation methods and set high barriers to entry into the domestic market. The paper provides a comparative analysis of objects of anti-dumping measures in all countries of the world and Ukraine. The nature of the influence on granting the country the status of a country with a market economy on the number and effectiveness of antidumping investigations is determined on the example of Ukraine. The effectiveness of anti-dumping investigations initiated by the US and the EU in relation to Ukraine has been studied.
