Descripción
The market of wooden beds in the U.S. has been flooded with imports from China and
Vietnam in recent years. Static and dynamic Almost Ideal Demand System models are used
to assess the import demand for wooden beds from the top seven supplying countries. The
analyses reveal that the antidumping investigation on China has some temporary trade depression effect on China, but trade diversion occur to Vietnam, Indonesia, Canada, and Brazil. The formal implementation of antidumping duties since 2005 has not shown any significant effect on the trade pattern. U.S. consumers spend more on beds from newly industrialized countries and there are moderate degrees of substitution among wooden beds from most countries.
