Antidumping, Retaliation Threats, and Export Prices
利用巴西企业层面数据,研究发现反倾销税显著提高了企业对征税国的出口单价,且潜在的报复威胁也促使企业提高价格以降低倾销幅度。
Utilizing four-dimensional (firm-product-destination-year) Brazilian firm-level export data, we show that antidumping (AD) duties result in a significant and dramatic increase in the unit values of the products that firms export to duty-imposing countries. Furthermore, we examine the effect of potential (retaliatory) AD duties on the unit price of the firms' shipments. Our findings suggest that AD activities in Brazil lead Brazilian exporting firms to increase their unit export prices for the named industries' products to decrease the dumping margin and avoid the threat of retaliation by the target countries.
