Export Performance Under Domestic Anti-Dumping Protection
利用秘鲁企业数据，研究发现国内反倾销措施对出口绩效的影响取决于目标经济体：针对中国的关税导致企业提价并减少出货，而针对中高收入国家的措施则使企业增加出口并降低单价。
This paper investigates the relationship between import protection and export performance employing firm-level data from Peru. We exploit product-specific information on anti-dumping (AD) measures imposed by Peru along with several indicators on the performance of Peruvian exporting firms across and within destination markets. Findings indicate that the impact of protection on export performance depends on which economies are targeted by domestic AD protection. Duties towards China are associated with substantially higher prices by exporting firms. Firms also reduce their shipments, as suggested by frameworks stressing the role of adjustment costs. These effects are mostly concentrated among small firm. In contrast, when AD measures are imposed on competitors from middle- or high-income countries, exporters ship larger quantities and tend to reduce unit values which is consistent with the existence of scale economies. • We analyze the relationship between import protection and export performance employing firm-level data from Peru. • The impact on export performance depends on which economies are targeted by domestic antidumping protection. • Consistent with the role of adjustment costs, duties towards China are associated with higher prices and lower shipments. • Anti-dumping measures imposed on middle-income countries tend to reduce unit values, consistent with scale economies.
