Abstract
Do exports resume when import-restricting temporary trade barriers (TTBs) such as antidumping are finally removed? First, this paper uses data from the World Bank's Temporary Trade Barriers Database to update through 2011 a number of inter-temporal indicators of import protection. Second, it highlights the economic significance of emerging economy exporters affected by frequently bilateral import restrictions imposed by other emerging economies, that is, South-South protectionism. Third, it finds that China's exporters respond quickly and aggressively to the market access opening embodied in the removal of such import restrictions. This result differs markedly from the slow and tepid export response of other emerging economies, especially when the TTB had been imposed by another emerging economy.
