Determinants for Macroeconomic Factors of Antidumping: A Comparative Analysis of India and China

This article makes a comparative analysis of the antidumping practices of three giant countries by using panel data of antidumping from the World Trade Organization for the period 1995-2010. An empirical analysis shows that India effectively took advantage of antidumping filings against export-oriented Asian countries during periods of low GDP growth and high unemployment. China, however, has frequently filed antidumping measures against export-oriented Asian countries experiencing a trade deficit and a high unemployment rate. The results also predict that India's antidumping filings against China may continue for the time being; however, India's antidumping filings against Japan and Korea are expected to gradually decline due to the free trade agreements among them.
