Boomerang Effect

Boomerang effect in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, a definition of this issue is as follows: the possibility that policies executed by a government may rebound on it. Trade policy generally seeks to avoid the boomerang effect by treating exporters from other jurisdictions and their products in a manner equivalent to that given to domestic producers and their products. The boomerang effect is more likely to occur under laws and regulations not subject to the national treatment provision. See also beggar-thy- neighbour policies and retaliation.[1]
