U.S. facts-available antidumping decisions: An empirical analysis

This paper analyzes U.S. implementation of one aspect of antidumping reform agreed to in the Uruguay Round. In particular, evidence is consistent with the view that administrators have not fundamentally improved the application of “facts-available” techniques, which is an important contributor to high antidumping margins on U.S. imports. The results suggest that the U.S. has lived up to the letter but not the spirit of one important antidumping reform in the Uruguay Round.
