报告内容摘要：This paper examines endogenous trade policy in a global value chain by exploring the impact of exports of intermediate inputs of a country on its trade barriers on final products. We use Chinese transaction-level processing trade data and finds that, the more are a country’s intermediate exports to, the lower is the trade barrier this country imposes on the imports of the final product fromproduced with these intermediates. The reason is that a low trade barrier on the final product increases the country’s demand for Chinese final product, and thus increases Chinese demand for its intermediate inputs used in the production of that product. This impact exists for both the permanent tariffs (preferential and MFN tariffs) and temporary trade barriers (TTB, including anti-dumping and safeguards), is stronger for differentiated products than for commodities, and is stronger when intermediate export industries are more organized. For MFN tariffs and safeguards applied to all trade partners, this impact is higher when the share of a country imports of the final product from China (out of its total imports from the whole world) is higher, which implies it’s more likely that the MFN tariffs and safeguards are set mainly against China.
