A consistent finding in the literature is that anti-dumping (AD) acts as a significant barrier to bilateral trade, in particular, during the time such measures are in force. Adding to a relatively scarce empirical literature, however, we identify adverse impacts of AD which survive well beyond...

Regional value chains (RVCs) are considered as an important step towards a greater integration into global value chains (GVCs) but African countries trade very little value added with each other. Based on the UNCTAD-Eora GVC database this paper estimates a panel model from 2006 to 2012 for 37...
