Abstract
ABSTRACT This study uses a panel of monthly data to investigate the effects of antidumping (AD) duties imposed on shrimp imports to the U.S. The results from the augmented gravity model show that initiating AD investigations and the final AD duty rate harm trade with the named countries. Distribution of AD duties among domestic industry producers stimulates a positive supply response. Rejection of imports by European countries for food safety reasons deflects trade to the U.S. The pass-through effects of the AD duty rate (and exchange rate) on import prices are small, indicating minimal adverse effects of AD policy on consumer welfare.
