The First Review of European Union Antidumping Reviews

摘要

Although the issue of AD duty changes following imposition of such measures is relevant to understand the efficacy and the strategic effects of AD systems, little is known about the occurrences and extents of such changes. To our knowledge, this is the first paper to provide comprehensive information about all the reviews conducted by the EU by the end of 2011 for all petitions initiated in the period 1980-2009 and concluded with the imposition of AD measures. The novel data set that we constructed allows us to shed light on the entire history of AD duties in the EU. Summary statistics and econometric analysis confirms that AD reviews are not a rare occurrence since they involve 36 per cent of all AD measures and around 30 per cent of firms that cooperated in the original investigation.
