THE EFFECTS OF THE EU ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES ON CHINESE-LISTED EXPORTERS — A MESOECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Based on outcomes derived from a mesoeconomic model, this study examines the impact of European Union (EU) anti-dumping (AD) measures on listed Chinese exporters using the Propensity Score Matching with Difference-in-Differences (PSM-DID) method. Using yearly transaction data covering all Chinese listed exporters over 2000–2015, our findings indicate that EU AD measures result in a reduction in export volume and an increase in export prices for Chinese listed exporters at the product level. This trade-dampening effect is attributed to a significant decrease in export volume per exporter rather than the exit of listed exporters from the EU market. Additionally, we find that the effects of AD measures on the export volume and price of Chinese-listed exporters do not persist beyond the first year of the imposition of AD duties.
