Title Big Shifts in Trade Policies during the Great Recession: The case of Sino-U.S. trade activities
Summary Trade protectionism has increased during both the Great Depression and the Great Recession. The raising tariff rate was the major trade policy during the Great Depression, but the protective trade policies have been shifted to anti-dumping investigations and unconventional policies, which are more hidden during the recent financial crisis. In order to improve its trade balance, the U.S.initiated anti-dumping investigations and implemented those unconventional policies: local content requirement and public procurement. The empirical evidence suggests that anti-dumping investigation has no significant impact on improving the U.S. trade balance.
