Abstract
This study draws on the institution-based view to examine the impact of antidumping protection on the scope of foreign exporters. By utilizing the cases of antidumping protection by the United States against Chinese exporters, our difference-in-difference analysis indicates a “channeling effect” of antidumping protection which makes exporters to channel their exports to the unaffected product and geographic markets. Further, we find that the channeling effect is conditional on the size and the breadth of prior experience of exporters. Our findings contribute to the literature by stressing the impact of institutional entry barriers and its contingencies on the strategic choice of MNEs.
