The Impact of Anti-Dumping Measures on the Export of Intermediate Goods in Chinese Manufacturing Industry - Based on the perspective of ownership of importing firms

Abstract

Abstract This paper links the OECD-ICIOMNE database with the OECD analytical AMNE database. Based on the ownership of importing countries' enterprises, it dissects the scale of intermediate product exports in the Chinese manufacturing industry. Furthermore, it combines this analysis with the Temporary Trade Barriers Database to explore the heterogeneous effects of anti-dumping measures on the scale of intermediate product exports. The study finds that: (1) The scale of intermediate product exports from the Chinese manufacturing industry to domestically owned enterprises in importing countries is higher than that to the third-country multinational corporations within the importing country, with the lowest scale observed for exports to Chinese multinational corporations located within importing countries' borders. (2) Under the impact of anti-dumping measures, the negative effect on the scale of intermediate product exports to domestically owned enterprises in importing country is greater than that on exports to the third-country multinational corporations within the importing country. However, exports to Chinese multinational corporations within importing countries' borders don’t experience a significant impact. (3) The endowment of factors in Chinese manufacturing industries and the regions to which importing countries belong will lead to heterogeneous impacts on the relationship between anti-dumping measures and the scale of intermediate product exports.
