question 6
what is the ultimate objective of anti - dumping policies?
a. to protect host governments from the loss of legitimate tax revenue
b. to promote \fair\ trade
c. to protect domestic producers from \unfair\ foreign competition
d. to protect foreign producers from \unfair\ local competition
e. to protect consumers from predatory pricing

Explanation:

Anti - dumping policies are implemented by countries to counteract the practice of foreign firms selling goods at a lower price in the domestic market than in their home market. The main goal is to shield domestic producers from what is considered unfair foreign competition. While fair trade and protecting tax revenues can be related concepts in international trade, the core objective is to safeguard domestic producers. Protecting foreign producers from local competition is not the aim, and protecting consumers from predatory pricing is more related to anti - trust and consumer protection laws rather than anti - dumping policies.

Answer:

C. To protect domestic producers from "unfair" foreign competition
