Abstract: This paper examines the impact of 2009 and 2011 anti-dumping (AD) duties on aluminum from the European Union and the United States on Chinese aluminum firms’ export price adjustments using a Difference-in-Differences (DD) method. We find that a one percentage point increase in US AD duties leads to a 0.21% rise in export prices. Moreover, state-owned enterprises (SOEs) exhibit significantly smaller price adjustments compared to non-SOEs, highlighting the role of firm ownership in shaping responses to AD duties. These findings have important implications for understanding firm behavior and guiding policy design in the context of trade protection measures.
