Dumping as a signal of innovation

“…Eight manuscripts use structural equation modeling (SEM), while five additional articles (Li and Lin, 2015; Newburry, 2010; Swoboda et al , 2016, 2017; Swoboda and Hirschmann, 2017) use both multilevel analysis and SEM for analyzing data and testing hypotheses on two analytical levels: country and firm. From an international economics research program, six articles offer econometric models for understanding, for instance, the linkages between exports and the signaling level of new technologies possessed by firms in the context of R&D-intensive industries (Miyagiwa and Ohno, 2007) and the importance of exporters’ reliability and reputation when their country of origin faces violence and weak institutions (Macchiavello and Morjaria, 2015). Meanwhile, in an international marketing setting, four additional papers use experiment designs to explore, for example, consumer animosity and negative reputation toward international brands before and after cross-border acquisitions (Fong et al , 2013).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on corporate reputation and internationalization to identify key research theories, contexts, characteristics, methodologies, applications, limitations and opportunities for future research on the interlinks between these two complex constructs. Design/methodology/approach Elements of systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis were used to analyze theories, contexts, characteristics, methodologies and opportunities for future research based on 90 articles published in 50 journals over 27 years. Findings The findings suggest that this is a contemporary yet expanding research field explored from a variety of theoretical, methodological and empirical standpoints, which hinders broad conclusions and warrants further research. More specifically, this paper identifies three broad research streams that link international expansion and corporate reputation and suggests avenues for future studies: cross-national institutions, strategic decisions and corporate reputation; international marketing, consumers and brand credibility; and corporate image, international trade and investment flows. Originality/value Reputation and internationalization are constructs with multiple applications and interpretations. The way companies build, maintain and extend their reputation and legitimacy, and the drivers, motives and difficulties faced by them when expanding operations internationally have been widely studied separately. This manuscript reviews the nascent and promising linkage between these two elements that have recently drawn the attention of business practitioners and scholars alike.

“…Dumped imports are typically defined to be foreign products exported at prices below "fair value," that is, either below the prices of comparable products for sale in the domestic market of the exporting country or below costs of production.7 A number of other papers have considered an environment of asymmetric information:Miyagiwa and Ohno (2007),Matschke and Schottner (2008) andKolev and Prusa (2002). However, these papers are concerned with the implications of anti-dumping policy on firm behavior (output, prices and profits) and do not investigate whether anti-dumping duties can achieve a first best outcome.8 Even in a complete information setting,Staiger and Wolak (1992) andAnderson (1992) make the point that the mere existence of anti-dumping policy will alter firms behavior.…”

Terms of use: Documents in Contingent Trade Policy and Economic Efficiency AbstractThis paper develops an efficiency theory of contingent trade policies. We model the competition for a domestic market between one domestic and one foreign firm as a pricing game under incomplete information about production costs. The cost distributions are asymmetric because the foreign firm has to pay a trade cost. We show that the foreign firm prices more aggressively to overcome its cost disadvantage. The resulting possibility of an inefficient allocation justifies the use of contingent trade policy on efficiency grounds. Contingent trade policy that seeks to maximize global welfare can avoid the potential inefficiency. National governments, on the other hand, make excessive use of contingent trade policy due to rent shifting motives. The expected inefficiency of national policy is larger (smaller) for low (high) trade costs compared to the laissez-faire case. In general, there is no clear ranking between the laissez-faire outcome and a contingent national trade policy.JEL-Code: F120, F130.
