| Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to analyze the interaction between unionization and the likelihood, type and effects of antidumping measures. The authors present a simple theoretical model which is well embedded in EU legal practice, to show that the presence of European unions leads to an increase in both the likelihood and the level of antidumping protection. In addition the authors' results indicate that a cost asymmetry in the form of a unionized wage differential can alter the relative probability of a duty versus an undertaking. These effects depend on the intensity of product market competition. The paper concludes with some evidence from EU antidumping cases between 1985-1995. |
