“…These modifications-collectively referred to as the "Special Rule"-allowed countries to satisfy rules-of-origin requirements using fabric of any origin provided that the clothing assembly took place within the countries' borders. As discussed in Whalley and Dayaratna-Banda (2007), firms responded to the Special Rule by importing fabrics from Asian countries for assembly in Africa. 26 The Special Rule also lead to substantial inward foreign direct investment as multinational firms located the final stages of production in Africa to "hop" over quotas (Frazer and Van Biesebroeck, 2007).…”

“…As a result, the U.S. might continue to apply quotas or resort to other forms of protection, such as anti-dumping remedies, once the current safeguards are removed (Bown, 2007). Whalley and Dayaratna-Banda (2007) argue that the new safeguards are merely a means of re-imposing an MFA/ATC regime on China, with the major exception that quotas now just apply to China as opposed to all developing economies.…”

This paper analyzes China's experience under U.S. apparel and textile quotas. It makes use of a unique new database that tracks U.S. trading partners' performance under the quota regimes established by the global Multifiber Arrangement (1974 to 1995) and subsequent Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (1995 to 2005). We find that China was relatively more constrained under these regimes than other countries and that, as quotas were lifted, China's exports grew disproportionately. When the ATC finally ended in 2005, China's exports surged while those from nearly all other regions fell.
