ABSTRACT

This chapter presents a detailed statistical breakdown of the record of U.S. antidumping laws. Although such a statistical overview provides little insight into the merits of individual cases, it does shed some light on the overall effect of antidumping laws on the U.S. economy. More important, the statistical breakdown is quite useful and even conclusive in evaluating claims on matters such as allegations of systematic bias by U.S. administering authorities and concerns over the length of time that antidumping orders remain in effect.
