Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of customs unions (CUs) on the ability of countries to multilaterally cooperate within an economic environment characterized by trade-flow volatility. We find that the initiation of CU talks results in an easing of multilateral trade tensions, especially with regard to the employment of "special"-protection instruments, such as anti-dumping duties or safeguards. However, once the CU agreements come into force, a retreat to a more protectionist trading environment becomes necessary so that multilateral cooperation does not break down. Interestingly, in comparison with the pre-CU world, the utilization of "special"-protection tools in the post-CU world is more severe for "high" import volumes, but is less frequent overall. Moreover, "normal" protection remains low, largely unchanged from the pre-CU era.

This paper documents that antidumping (AD) "echoing" (i.e., different countries sequentially imposing AD measures on the same product from the same exporter) is common practice among users of AD. We develop a dynamic game where two competing importers can impose AD measures on a third exporting country in one of two periods, if at all. Assuming that governments are politically motivated (favoring their import-competing industry), AD echoing occurs only for intermediate values of a country's political-economy parameter. This result is confirmed by our econometric analysis, demonstrating that countries' political-economy-driven AD actions are interdependent and should not be analyzed in isolation.
