大萧条与进口保护:临时贸易壁垒的作用
2008年的大衰退?9对全球经济造成的负面冲击堪比上世纪30年代的大萧条，随之而来的是危机早期特有的不确定性。贸易政策的不确定性尤其严重。现代贸易体系能承受如此毁灭性的经济打击吗?具体来说，各国政府是否会兑现危机初期避免保护主义的承诺?现在可以明确的是，2008?经济衰退并没有导致一系列灾难性的保护主义政策，其规模在任何地方都无法与20世纪30年代的大萧条相提并论。事实根本不支持各国在这一时期没有调整其贸易政策的观点。危机期间，许多国家在贸易政策方面相当积极。反倾销、保障措施和反补贴税(cvd)等政策?统称为临时贸易壁垒(TTBs) ? played an important and perhaps even critical role. An understanding of the details of this activity is required in order to generate insight into how the trading system withstood the threat of collapse. This volume offers a collection of research that begins to fill a major information gap by providing empirical details of many of the important changes that took place under these trade policies during 2008?9. The contributors to this volume are Piyush Chandra, Lawrence Edwards, Moonsung Kang, Baybars Karacaovali, Rodney D. Ludema, Anna Maria Mayda, Michael O. Moore, Marcelo Olarreaga, Soonchan Park, Thomas J. Prusa, Raymond Robertson, Patricia Tovar, Marcel Vaillant, Hylke Vandenbussche and Christian Viegelahn.
