Dumping and anti-dumping, an inevitable topic since the first day of international trade,has been common phenomenon as the international trade is more and more developed.Moreover, there are more restrictions for tariffs and quota, which ensures anti-dumping tobe a popular and overwhelming method. With the Opening-up Policy and being a memberof WTO, on one hand, China enjoys the growth on trade volumes, on the other hand,China has to face more and more anti-dumping cases from all over the world. It is saidthat China has been the biggest target and victim of anti-dumping initials and measures.Business association, which plays an important role in economy and publicmanagement, is the intermediary organization among enterprises, governments andinternational organizations. In western countries, business association works fantasticallyon enterprise service, training, as well as on international trade and anti-dumping. But inChina, business association is very weak because of its origin and the whole system here.Considering the tough situation in international trade and the weak businessassociations in China, therefore, the thesis hopes to analyze the governance structure ofbusiness association from the views of sociology, jurisprudence, management andeconomy. Based on the questionnaires, the paper will use principal component analysis(PCA) to find the main factors for the multinomial logistic regression to discuss therelation between its governance and its ability on anti-dumping. After the analysis, thethesis finds that incentive mechanism (IM), restriction mechanism (RM), supervisorymechanism (SM) and government support (GS) play significant roles in affecting itsanti-dumping ability.
