Production Effects of Price- and Cost-Based Anti-Dumping Laws under Flexible Exchange Rates

This paper investigates the production response of an exporting firm when faced with the threat of an anti-dumping (AD) action. The firm's production decision is sensitive to market conditions at home and abroad, as well as to the definition of dumping. We examine the incentives facing the exporting firm under price-based, marginal-cost-based, and average total cost-based anti-dumping laws. Depending on the nature of the anti-dumping rules and market conditions, a firm's production may rise, fall, or remain unchanged in response to AD legislation.

The Saskatchewan Potash Industry and the 1987 US Antidumping Action

This paper examines the U.S. antidumping allegations against the Saskatchewan potash industry. It concludes that the U.S. fair laws and the administration of them were essentially used to protect the U.S. industry as it continues its long run decline due to exhaustion of reserves. It then considers whether the recent Canada-U.S. comprehensive trade agreement will grant any relief to Canadian industries from such actions in the future and concludes that it likely will not. It also briefly considers why it took antidumping charges by the U.S. to stimulate the Saskatchewan potash industry to take action in its own self interest and exercise its monopoly power.
