The events that resulted in the disappearance of the European television industry, of a European and Japanese video recorder format and of other European consumer electronics are directly related to market structures in exporting countries and business practices. In this book, factual business data shows and economic models explain how restrictive trade practices result in elimination of efficient competitors in export markets. It deals with the memorable case how a videocassette recorder format was established by dumping and how politics enabled it. An innovative tariff increase for CD players was invalidated by heavy dumping, causing closure of production in Europe. European CTV industry succumbed under permanent dumping and a series of biases – as the interest of a state-owned company – and serious errors making trade instruments void and rules irreconcilable with international agreements. Practical and theoretical examples and explanations, some in detail, of trade rules are provided. The book sketches events – carelessness, prejudice or special interests, arbitrary and false application of trade instruments and fraud – resulting in disappearance of various European electronics business segments.Contributions to Economics,1431-1933International economicsIndustrial organizationInternational lawTradeEconomic policyInternational Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000Industrial Organizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31010International Economic Law, Trade Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19050Economic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010EuropeCommercial policyCase studiesInternational economics.Industrial organization.International law.Trade.Economic policy.International Economics.Industrial Organization.International Economic Law, Trade Law.Economic Policy.343.0870261382.3094van Marion Marcelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut727933BOOK9910298552803321International Trade Policy and European Industry2543171UNINA
