Title: Dumping of Exports and Antidumping Duties: Implications for the U.S. Economy
Authors: Craig K. Elwell, Government and Finance Division 
Abstract: This report looks at the economic impact of U.S. antidumping policy. It provides a view of the rising incidence of antidumping actions by and against the United States. It also examines the conceptual economic basis for taking antidumping action against imports. U.S. antidumping practice is appraised relative to that conceptual basis. Evidence on the domestic economic impact of current antidumping measures is presented and arguments for dumping based on the notion of "fairness" are also considered.
