TRADE POLICY

The study uses an event-study framework to measure how news leading to the Softwood Lumber Agreement affected publicly traded U.S. firms that used lumber as an input.

The negative stock-market response demonstrates that trade restrictions designed to protect upstream producers can impose significant financial costs on homebuilders, manufacturers, and other downstream users.

This paper estimates how provincial softwood-lumber exports responded to the Canada–US Softwood Lumber Agreement.

The results show a large increase in exports from provinces not named in the agreement, demonstrating that regional exemptions can redirect production and exports within a country.

This paper studies the direct and indirect trade effects of antidumping measures in agriculture.

It assesses whether duties restrict total imports or merely redirect them toward non-named countries, contributing sector-specific evidence to the broader literature on trade remedies.

This paper examines why firms facing import competition do not always petition for antidumping protection.

Using stock-market responses, it shows that filing may transmit adverse information about firm efficiency, adding a strategic signaling mechanism to conventional explanations of trade-remedy use.

This study evaluates the relationship between antidumping protection and domestic competition in the fresh-tomatoes industry.

It highlights the risk that trade remedies in concentrated markets may entrench domestic market power rather than correct predatory foreign pricing.

The paper analyzes the factors influencing investment decisions by U.S. firms operating in India.

It provides evidence relevant to policymakers seeking to attract sustained foreign investment and to firms evaluating institutional and market risks.

This paper examines antidumping cases in the U.S. chemical industry and asks whether the legislation functions as a pro-competitive remedy or as a barrier that entrenches domestic market power.

The findings contribute to debates about aligning trade-remedy policy with competition and consumer-welfare principles.

This working paper evaluates the agricultural trade effects of the Canada–Chile Free Trade Agreement.

Its results show that preferential agreements can generate substantial but asymmetric gains, making product-level and directional analysis essential when evaluating market-access agreements.

The paper investigates the relationship between antidumping actions and domestic competition policy.

It argues that trade remedies should be assessed against the consumer-welfare and market-power standards used in competition law.

The study compares the trade effects of agricultural antidumping investigations and determinations in Canada and the United States.

It focuses on the conditions under which duties restrict targeted imports, redirect trade, or create persistent market disruption.

This paper examines the expansion of antidumping use beyond traditional users such as the United States, European Union, Canada, and Australia.

It considers whether trade remedies are increasingly being used to counteract liberalization commitments, particularly in agricultural markets.

Using a modified gravity-model framework, the study assesses the direct and indirect effects of agricultural antidumping measures in Canada and the United States.

The results show that perishability and market concentration are important determinants of whether an antidumping action blocks trade or merely changes its source.
