Abstract

The article uses a specific case to illustrate how three multinational firms used antidumping law to create cartels in Europe and in the United States. It goes on to show how easy it is to use antidumping law to facilitate cartellization and to suggest that this practice is probably common. The author urges antitrust authorities to use the filing of antidumping complaints to trigger antitrust investigations.
