Anti-Dumping Wars: An Empirical and Comparative Analysis of Unfair Trading Suits by China, India, Canada, the United States and the European Union, 1995-2011

This paper focuses on the empirics and strategies of anti-dumping investigations by national authorities. It will examine the United States of America (US), India, China, and Canada and their increasing reliance on this controversial policy instrument, as governments are faced with new global competitive pressures. For two decades, China has been the most targeted country for anti-dumping suits in the world. The anti-dumping strategy of China will be analyzed; the anti-dumping case study of the World Trade Organization (WTO) solar panel dispute between China and the US, and between China and the European Union (EU) provides an important insight into the use of anti-dumping as a competitive strategy by some of the world’s most powerful economies. Finally, we make some suggestions on ways to help Chinese firms improve their win-rate in the anti-dumping wars.
