    Full text link
    Artikel 15 in Chinas Beitrittsprotokoll zur WTO aus dem Jahr 2001 besagt, dass im Falle von Preisdumping die WTO-Mitglieder gegenüber dem Land strengere Handelsschutzregeln anwenden dürfen. Der entsprechende Passus im Beitrittsprotokoll ist für eine Frist von 15 Jahren festgelegt worden. In den USA und der EU diskutieren deshalb die verantwortlichen politischen Institutionen, ob und wie die Handelsschutzregeln gegenüber China spätestens Ende 2016 angepasst werden müssen. Der Artikel legt zunächst die wirtschaftspolitische Problemlage dar, um anschließend unterschiedliche Lösungsansätze vorzustellen

    Interest in locally grown food has skyrocketed in recent years. Those planning to enter this growing industry must comply with strict health and safety codes at the federal, state, and county level. One promising innovation for start-up food businesses is the creation of local shared commercial kitchen facilities, licensed spaces dedicated to the processing and production of food for retail sale. In 2014 University of Wisconsin-Extension - Eau Claire County opened a shared commercial kitchen facility at the Eau Claire County Exposition Center. This guide summarizes important lessons learned in order to facilitate replication by Extension professionals around the country

    Where has the rum gone? The impact of maritime piracy on trade and transport

    Get PDF
    Despite a general agreement that piracy poses a significant threat to maritime ship - ping, empirical evidence regarding its economic consequences remains scarce. This paper combines firm-level Chinese customs data and ship position data with infor- mation on pirate attacks to investigate how exporting firms and cargo ships respond to maritime piracy. It finds that overall exports along affected shipping routes fall following an increase in pirate activity. In addition, piracy induces firms to switch from ocean to air shipping, while remaining ocean shipments become larger. At the ship-level, the paper provides evidence for re-routing, as container ships avoid regions prone to pirate attacks

    The trade effects of anti-dumping duties, non-tariff barriers and maritime security

    This dissertation was prepared by Alexander-Nikolai Sandkamp and completed in September 2018. It consists of four self-contained chapters that empirically investigate different trade dampening phenomena using gravity analysis. The first two chapters examine the effects of anti-dumping duties on trade, addressing endogeneity concerns linked to trade policy. In particular, Chapter 1 exploits the EU enlargement of 2004 as a natural experiment to analyse trade effects of European anti-dumping duties across different exporting countries. Chapter 2 examines the universe of Chinese firm-level exports to identify trade effects across different importing countries. Chapter 3 investigates how the implementation of non-tariff barriers reduces bilateral imports. Finally, Chapter 4 uses Chinese customs data to examine the impact of maritime piracy on Chinese export flows as well as firms’ choice of transport mode
