Injury Investigations In "Material Retardation" Antidumping Cases, Prakash Narayanan Jan 2004

Injury Investigations In "Material Retardation" Antidumping Cases, Prakash Narayanan

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Despite the criticisms of economists to antidumping measures, they continue to be the most often used trade remedy measure. A new trend that may be observed is the use of the "material retardation" standard of injury to demonstrate injury to domestic industry that is one of the requirements for imposing antidumping duty. It is essential to be wary of this trend as unlike the other two types of injury, the WTO lacks specific guidelines for the use of this standard. The general rules in the Antidumping Agreement are unsuitable for the situations where the material retardation standard is relevant, and …

Dumping Of Non-Factor Services: Some Implications Of Recent Experiences With Controlled-Economy Shipping, John A. Zerby, Robert A. Ellsworth, Austin L. Schmitt

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Dumping generally brings lower prices to the consumers of the importing country, the benefit of which is dispersed throughout the economy unless it is outweighed by genuine injury to a domestic industry. The essential element in the regulation of dumping is, therefore, the problem of determining when injury is sufficient to justify remedial action. In the United States, and in many other countries, the standard for such determination have evolved from the notion that dumping is an example of price discrimination between countries. If a higher price in the exporting country can be traced to monopolistic control over the domestic …

The Retroactive Application Of The Antidumping Act Of 1921, Thomas E. Johnson

Against this background, he concludes that the retroactive application of the Act, particularly …
