Abstract

This study introduces a two-dimensional matrix analysis method that utilizes revealed comparative advantage and revealed comparative disadvantage indices. It aims to clarify the impact of trade remedy measures on beneficiary industries' performance. We compare the effects of these measures across both growing and mature industries. In the former case, we examine the steel industries in China and India, while in the latter case, we focus on Japan's basic chemicals and other products. By tracking the changes in the revealed comparative advantage and disadvantage indices before and after the execution of each measure, we identify distinct patterns depending on the industry's developmental stage. Although trade remedy measures are defined as countermeasures against unfair trade practices, this distinction enables us to determine whether trade remedy measures serve as tools for enhancing and sustaining industrial competitiveness or averting competitive disadvantages effectively with implicit intentions of governments. Furthermore, this analytical framework also provides insights into industry conditions. Its versatility extends to potential applications in corporate management and policy evaluation.
贸易救济措施及其对产业绩效和政府隐性意图的影响:中国、印度和日本的显性比较优势指数变化
本文介绍了利用显性比较优势和显性比较劣势指标的二维矩阵分析方法。旨在阐明贸易救济措施对受益行业绩效的影响。我们比较了这些措施对成长型和成熟型行业的影响。在前一种情况下,我们研究了中国和印度的钢铁行业,而在后一种情况下,我们关注的是日本的基本化学品和其他产品。通过跟踪各措施实施前后的显性比较优势和劣势指数的变化,我们发现了不同行业发展阶段的不同模式。虽然贸易救济措施被定义为针对不公平贸易行为的反制措施,但这一区别使我们能够确定贸易救济措施是作为增强和维持产业竞争力的工具,还是在政府隐含意图的情况下有效避免竞争劣势的工具。此外,该分析框架还提供了对行业状况的洞察。它的多功能性扩展到公司管理和政策评估方面的潜在应用。
