Abstract

Purpose The issue of substitutability between various modes of import protection has been studied by economists in various ways. Since President Donald Trump came into office and soon started imposing tariffs, the need by US firms to file antidumping (AD) cases would seem to have been reduced. This study aims to examine whether such a reduction in AD cases has occurred. Design/methodology/approach Quarterly US AD filings via a negative binomial regression analysis are explained. Patterns based on data from 1995 through 2016 are obtained first and then predict US AD petitions for 2017 and 2018. Findings The authors reject a hypothesis of substitution away from AD in the Trump era of general protectionism but do find some support for the notion that protection moves downstream, with greater than predicted AD filings in downstream metals sectors. Originality/value This is the first study to examine the possibility of trade policy substitutability in the Trump era.

美国的反倾销案件是否正被其他形式的保护主义所排挤?

目的经济学家对各种进口保护模式之间的可替代性问题进行了不同的研究。自从唐纳德·特朗普总统上任并很快开始征收关税以来，美国公司提起反倾销案件的需求似乎已经减少。本研究旨在检验AD病例是否出现了这种减少。设计/方法/方法通过负二项回归分析解释了季度美国AD申请。首先获得了基于1995年至2016年数据的模式，然后预测了2017年和2018年美国的AD申请。结果作者拒绝接受在特朗普时代普遍保护主义时期取代AD的假设，但确实发现保护向下游转移的观点得到了一些支持，下游金属行业的AD申请比预测的要多。原创性/价值这是第一项研究特朗普时代贸易政策可替代性的可能性。

期刊介绍： The Journal of International Trade Law and Policy is a peer reviewed interdisciplinary journal with a focus upon the nexus of international economic policy and international economic law. It is receptive, but not limited, to the methods of economics, law, and the social sciences. As scholars tend to read individual articles of particular interest to them, rather than an entire issue, authors are not required to write with full accessibility to readers from all disciplines within the purview of the Journal. However, interdisciplinary communication should be fostered where possible. Thus economists can utilize quantitative methods (including econometrics and statistics), while legal scholars and political scientists can invoke specialized techniques and theories. Appendices are encouraged for more technical material. Submissions should contribute to understanding international economic policy and the institutional/legal architecture in which it is implemented. Submissions can be conceptual (theoretical) and/or empirical and/or doctrinal in content. Topics of interest to the Journal are expected to evolve over time but include: -All aspects of international trade law and policy -All aspects of international investment law and policy -All aspects of international development law and policy -All aspects of international financial law and policy -Relationship between economic policy and law and other societal concerns, including the human rights, environment, health, development, and national security
