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. 410 0$aContributions to Economics,$x1431-1933 606 $aInternational economics 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aInternational law 606 $aTrade 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aInternational Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000 606 $aIndustrial Organization$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31010 606 $aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19050 606 $aEconomic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010 607 $aEurope$xCommercial policy$vCase studies 615 0$aInternational economics. 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aTrade. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 14$aInternational Economics. 615 24$aIndustrial Organization. 615 24$aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 676 $a343.0870261 676 $a382.3094 700 $avan Marion$b Marcel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0727933 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298552803321 996 $aInternational Trade Policy and European Industry$92543171 997 $aUNINA
