碩士 / 國立中興大學 / 國際農學碩士學位學程 / 104 / The main aim of this study attempts to explore the status of trade comparativeness among each seven shrimp exporting countries (Vietnam, China, Thailand, Ecuador, India, Indonesia and Mexico) with the U.S. Furthermore, this study is to investigate how the U.S. antidumping petitions impact the bilateral revealed comparative advantage indexes (RCA) among each seven shrimp exporting countries with the U.S. In addition, the other purpose of this study is to capture whether other factors influence the RCA. The other factors are in terms of price, exchange rate, U.S. income per capita, shrimp disease and seasonality.
In order to achieve the goals, the procedure of computational approach is developed into two steps. The first one is to calculate the bilateral comparative advantage index (RCA) between each seven major shrimp exporting countries and the U.S. Next, the second step is an econometric approach that the panel data model is employed in order to investigate how the U.S. antidumping policy and other market factors affect the bilateral comparative advantage status. All observation data is in month basis and range from Jan 2003 to Dec 2014.
The computed result from step one shows that the seven shrimp exporting countries strongly possess superior competitiveness against the U.S. within shrimp market inside the U.S. According to the panel data model, the empirical results indicate that the RCA indexes are significantly negatively influenced by shrimp prices and positive impact by U.S. income per capita. Moreover, regarding seasonality effects, the RCA is negatively affected when shrimp traded in quarter 2 and 3 (Q2 and Q3) in comparison to that in quarter 1 and 4 (Q1 and Q4). On the contrary, the EMS (Early Mortality Syndrome) shrimp disease, domestic U.S. shrimp quantity and exchange rate have no significance impacts on the RCA indexes. Furthermore, the U. S antidumping laws have no significance impacts on the RCA indexes. In terms of policy implications, the U.S. had better to encourage research and development activities in order to reduce production cost of shrimp instead of the antidumping actions. The shrimp exporting countries should maintain the comparative advantage and diversify into new markets.
