Are Unfair Import Laws Unfair to Developing Countries: Evidence from U.S. Antidumping Actions 1990-2004
Morris E. Morkre, Dean Spinanger and Lien H. Tran
Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of U.S. AD actions on
DCs. It first considers administrative actions by the U.S. Department of
Commerce, which decides AD margins for countries. It then considers
decision making by the U.S. International Trade Commission, which
determines injury to domestic industry. The econometric results show that
USDOC actions lead to significantly higher AD margins for NMEs (all DCs)
than for MOEs. Among countries that suffer from U.S. AD actions DCs have a
significantly higher ratio of dumped imports to total imports (relative
dumped imports) compared with middle income countries. However, the results
also show that relative dumped imports of high income countries are also
greater than middle income countries
