This research used the Commercial Policy Analysis System(COMPAS)model developed by the US International Trade Commission to quantify the effects of exercising the anti-dumping duties on the art paper industry and the ripple effects on the upstream and downstream sectors as well as the whole economy in Taiwan. The empirical results show that the imposition of anti-dumping duties not only provides gains from increasing current account surplus, but also transfers considerable welfare benefits from consumers to the industry. The price of domestic like products increases, which is beneficial to the art paper and its upstream industries. However, the downstream industries as well as the over-all economic welfare may suffer. Given that there has been no ruling against anti-dumping duties in Taiwan, our results support a legal ramification with the lesser duty rule in place and suggest that a comprehensive impact assessment and the trade-offs between national interests and industry gain should be taken into considerations in the future anti-dumping investigations.
