This paper examines how varying antidumping methodologies applied within the World Trade Organization differ in the extent to which they reduce targeted exports. We show that antidumping duties, on average, hit Chinese exporters harder than those of other targeted countries. This difference can be traced back in part to China's non-market economy status, which affects the way antidumping duties are calculated. Furthermore, we show that the type of imposed duty matters, as ad-valorem duties affect exports differently compared to specific duties or duties conditional on the export price. Overall, however, antidumping duties remain effective in reducing imports independent of market economy status.
Im März 2008 führte die Fakultät Bauingenieurwesen der HTWG Konstanz eine studentische Exkursion nach China durch. Auf dem Programm standen interessante Baustellen Shanghai, Nanjing, Zhenjiang und Beijing sowie der Besuch von Hochschulen. Der Exkursionsbericht beschreibt die besuchten Bauvorhaben und gibt persönliche Eindrücke der Exkursionsteilnehmer wieder.
