摘要：Firms protected by antidumping measures do not unequivocally benefit from them.
Antidumping protection benefits non-exporters active on the protected market by raising their
domestic sales, but hurts exporters of similar products as the protected ones. Export sales of
protected firms fall by almost 8% compared to a relevant control group of unprotected firms. This
effect more than doubles for firms that are global, i.e. firms with foreign affiliates. Measured at the
product-level, extra-EU exports of goods protected by antidumping fall by 36% while exports to
target countries fall by as much as 66% following protection. Protection also has an effect on the
extensive margin, by raising the probability to start exporting for firms that were initially nonexporters.
Existing exporters face a higher probability to stop exporting during protection. Finally,
we find that the productivity of exporters falls while that of non-exporters rises during antidumping
protection. We offer a number of plausible explanations for our findings that stem from the
heterogeneous firm literature. We also discuss the importance of our findings for policy.
