Business strategy and financial consequences: The case of antidumping filings

► The protection of trade through antidumping policies is an important political issue for economic policy makers. ► I investigate which firm characteristics are correlated with the decision to file for antidumping. ► I find that the value of the firm that files for antidumping increases as much as 3% within three days surrounding the event date. ► My findings show that firms that have more employees are more likely to file for antidumping.
