A thesis presented to the Department of Economics and the Clark Honors College of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for degree of Bachelor of Science, Winter 2017Over the past several decades the number of countries with antidumping laws has increased substantially. As countries continue to adopt antidumping laws, it is vital to understand the ways that antidumping usage evolves in new user countries. This paper examines the evolution of antidumping filings over the first ten years after antidumping laws are adopted. Our statistical analysis of data on countries that adopted antidumping laws after 1979 indicates that the number of filings and the percentage of cases that receive an affirmative decision increase over the first ten years after a country adopts AD laws. We also see an increase in the percentage of cases initiated by metal industries over these years.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USAntidumpingInternational TradeTarrifsMetal IndustryDutiesLawThesis/Dissertation
