Abstract

This paper aims at studying the impact of antidumping on bilateral economy from a new perspective of domestic value added generated by exports through case study. We choose a representative case:photovoltaic products trade dispute between European Union and China. The results show that China suffered 4.88% and 1.84% loss on domestic value-added generated by non-processing and processing trade, separately. Meanwhile, under the background of globalization of production chains, European Union suffered 3.93% loss on domestic value-added. This paper also provides three scenarios to discuss the protective effects of antidumping. However, it turns out to be that European Union will suffer 1.3% loss of value-added even if there is quite low trade diversion. Lose-lose consequences turn up.

Key words

photovoltaic products / antidumping / input-output model / gains and losses / global value chain
