U.S. trade remedy law and agriculture: trade diversion and investigation effects

We study U.S. agricultural antidumping and countervailing duty cases from 1980 to 2005, and gauge the effectiveness of trade remedy law as a form of protection. The purpose is to measure the resulting investigation and trade diversion effects. Previous research on trade in manufactured products has...

description We study U.S. agricultural antidumping and countervailing duty cases from 1980 to 2005, and gauge the effectiveness of trade remedy law as a form of protection. The purpose is to measure the resulting investigation and trade diversion effects. Previous research on trade in manufactured products has shown that the domestic protection offered by AD and CV duties is largely offset by trade diversion. In contrast, we find that for agriculture, trade diversion is relatively unimportant. So AD and CVD cases are very effective forms of protection for U.S. agriculture. /// Les auteurs étudient les cas de tarifs antidumping et de tarifs compensatoires dans l'agriculture aux Etats-Unis entre 1980 et 2005, et évaluent l'efficience de cette forme de protection. L'objectif est de mesurer les effets résultant des enquêtes et de la diversion de commerce. Des études antérieures sur le commerce de produits manufacturiers ont montré que la protection offerte par ces mesures antidumping et compensatoires était largement contrebalancée par la diversion de commerce. A contrario, il appert qu'en agriculture la diversion de commerce est relativement peu importante. Voilà qui fait que les mesures antidumping et compensatoires sont des formes de protection efficientes pour l'agriculture américaine.
