Do Unfairly Traded Imports Injure Domestic Industries?
REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS, September 20, 1996

Abstract
There is a widespread popular belief that American industry is being destroyed by unfairly traded imports, that is, those that are subsidized or dumped. We test this claim with data (when available) from all final U.S. government countervailing duty and antidumping duty investigations between 1980 and 1988. Using a computable partial equilibrium model we compute upper bounds of the impact of unfairly traded imports on the revenue of competing domestic industries. We find that for most industries the effect of unfairly traded imports is minor.
