| Abstract: | This paper examines the relationship between antidumping filings and macroeconomic factors. Real exchange rate fluctuations affect two criteria for dumping in opposite ways, making the overall effect on filings ambiguous in theory. Examining the filing patterns of the four major users of AD (the GATT/WTO antidumping) law during the 1980-98 period the authors find that real exchange rates and domestic real GDP growth both have statistically significant impacts on filings. The empirical work of the paper uses data on AD filings from Australia, Canada, the European Union, and United States. The authors' findings support the notion that current (and perhaps future) rounds of the WTO must include antidumping reform on the negotiating agenda. |
