مدارک و شواهد در مورد اثرات بالادست و پایین دست موارد ضد دامپینگ

Anecdotal and theoretical evidence suggests that antidumping cases filed on behalf of domestic upstream intermediate products affect not only the upstream competitors, but also the downstream users. We empirically examine these claims using a panel of upstream/downstream product pairs over the 1977–1992 period. The results show that the imposition of antidumping duties in an upstream industry positively affects the quantity and value of domestic upstream production and negatively affects the quantity of downstream production. In addition, we find evidence that duties negatively affect the quantity value of dumped upstream imports (the harassment effect), positively affect non-dumped upstream imports in quantity terms (the diversion effect), and positively affect the value share of upstream domestic production (market-share shifting).
