“…Thus, our paper is much closer to the original questions explored by Prusa (1997Prusa ( , 2001. A recent paper that is closest to ours is that of Shen and Fu (2014). Using quarterly data on US imports, they too explore the impact of US antidumping duties on China and find that US antidumping duties against China restrict US imports from China but increase US imports from other countries in the long run.…”

Over the past three decades, we have seen a dramatic increase in the incidence of temporary trade barriers such as antidumping duties and countervailing duties. China has been at the receiving end of a large number of such measures. In this paper, we study how China's exports to its major trade partners have been affected when its major trade partners have used these measures either against China or against other countries. We find that Chinese exports to the country that imposed an antidumping duty decreased by approximately 35 percent. At the same time, an antidumping duty used by the importing country that was directed towards other countries but not against China led to an approximate 30‐percent increase in China's exports to the policy‐imposing country. These results remain robust across various specifications. Our findings have important policy implications. In particular, the magnitude of these effects highlights why it is important to curb the recent widespread use of these barriers.

“…More recent empirical studies have found that protectionist measures implemented since the start of the global financial crisis are affecting global trade flows negatively (Henn and McDonald ). Specific to nontariff trade barriers, empirical studies also found that the antidumping measures against China deterred Chinese exports (Shen and Fu ; Vandenbussche and Viegelahn ). Following these findings, we propose our fourth hypothesis: HYPOTHESIS 4 Export performance of China (India) of one product is negatively associated to (a) tariff increases and (b) antidumping measures related to this product .…”

Despite the international status of China and India rising dramatically in the previous decades, trade between the two countries did not grow accordingly. This paper investigates the determinants of the bilateral trade performance during the period of 2008–2012 from two perspectives: comparative advantage and trade protection. Two cases, Chinese exports to India, and Indian exports to China, are analyzed by using product‐level data. The results suggest that (1) the law of comparative advantage and trade protection explain the pattern of China–India trade, while (2) in a time of crisis, the adverse forces become prominent which explains the declining trend of the bilateral trade.

“…Brenton (2001), Prusa (2001) and Park (2009), among others, have documented the trade destruction effect empirically. Specifically, Shen and Fu (2014) find that the US import tariffs against China have led to significant reductions in exports of products covered under the applicable tariff lines from China to the US. The findings of Chandra (2017) show that, on average, a 35% reduction has been observed in China's exports of products covered under the levied tariff lines to the tariff levying countries.…”

This paper probes into the impacts of US‐China trade rows on China's exports of products covered under the applicable tariff lines. We scrutinise the monthly trade data of China with the US and third‐party markets from January 2017 to June 2019, employing the DID model. It is found firstly that the US levy of tariffs on $50 billion and $200 billion worth of Chinese products have produced a significant and adverse trade destruction effect on China's exports to the US. Meanwhile, the tariffs levied on these products have played a significant and positive role in deflecting China's export to third‐party markets. Second the US additional tariffs on $50 billion of China's products have produced greater trade destruction and deflection effects on China's export of tariff‐targeted products to the US, whereas only the US additional tariffs on $200 billion of China's products have caused a net trade destruction effect. Third, it is confirmed that the trade destruction effects of US additional tariffs on Chinese products exported to the US are mainly concentrated on high tech‐intensive manufactures and primary goods, while the trade deflection effect of China's export to third‐party markets is concentrated on differentiated products. The findings render crucial policy implications.
