“…Moore and Zanardi (2011), who study how past trade liberalization impacts the decision to adopt antidumping laws, demonstrate that except for heavy users of AD among the developing countries there is no statistically significant substitution effect of trade liberalization on AD initiatives. By contrast, Feinberg and Reynolds (2007), who based their analysis on 24 countries for the period from 1996 to 2003, identify that tariff reductions increased both the likelihood and number of AD petitions, especially for developing countries. Their concept of quid pro quo implies a quiet agreement which exists between nations on switching traditional tariff policies by NTMs.…”

Alongside the global tariff liberalization, a growing body of evidence demonstrates the rise in the use of non-tariff measures (NTMs), which suggests a substitution effect between these two import policy instruments. Yet, detailed economic data reveals that in countries with lower tariff rates (developed countries), the use of NTMs is significantly lower compared to developing countries, which implies a possible complementary effect between tariffs and NTMs across nations. Using a dataset of Kee, Nicita and Olarreaga (2009) on ad valorem tariff equivalents of NTMs, at a very disaggregated product level, this paper explores the determinants of NTMs and their substitutability/complementarity relations with tariff barriers. While exploiting the country variation, it demonstrates the decreasing trend of substitutability between the two import policy instruments with the rise in economic development. In particular, a significant complementarity correlation exists between the two trade measures among the wealthiest nations, implying a stronger commitment to freer trade.

Trade Policy Substitution:Theory and Evidence from Specific Trade Concerns * Cosimo BeverelliMauro Boffa Alexander Keck AbstractWe investigate to what extent the probability that a Specific Trade Concern (STC) is raised in the WTO against a Member in a given sector is affected by past reductions in applied tariffs. Employing an identification strategy based on 'new measures', we find evidence of a substitution of non-tariff measures for tariffs both in the sample of TBT and in the sample of SPS concerns. While in the SPS sample this result holds both among developed and developing economies, in the TBT sample such 'trade policy substitution' only occurs when the country maintaining the measure at issue is economically developed.These results are consistent with our theoretical model, which predicts policy substitution between tariffs and standards in economies where meeting such standards is relatively less costly and in sectors where meeting such standards is relatively more important from the perspective of producers.

“…As for the effect of WTO accession, Aggarwal (2004) infers that anti-dumping increase after the establishment of WTO. Feinberg and Reynolds (2007) infer that countries tend to protect domestic market with anti-dumping after making a commitment of dramatic reductions in tariff in the GATT Uruguay round of negotiations.…”

Using country-industry data, this study investigates factors which affect anti-dumping investigation via Probit model. We find that with the increase of trade, GDP per capita, population, exchange rate, accession to WTO and the occurrence of financial crisis, China more likely suffer from anti-dumping investigation，while with the increase of distance, China less likely suffer from anti-dumping investigation. Further, after divided the export into extensive margin and intensive margin, we find that the negative effect of trade on anti-dumping investigation mainly comes from the increase of intensive margin. The increases of extensive margin may reduce the chances of suffering from anti-dumping investigation.
