Terms Definition Absolute Advantage (AA) The ability to produce a good at lower cost, in terms of real resources, than another country. In a Ricardian model, cost is in terms of labor only. Absolute advantage is neither necessary nor sufficient for a country to export a good. Ad Valorem Equivalent The ad valorem tariff that would be equivalent, in terms of its effects on trade, Terms price, or some other measure, to a nontariff barrier. Ad Valorem Tariff (A Tariff defined as a percentage of the value of an imported good. Percentage of Price) Adjustment Assistance Government program to assist workers and/or firms whose industry has declined, either due to import competition (trade adjustment assistance) or from other causes. Such programs usually have two (conflicting) goals: to lessen hardship for those affected, and to help them change their behavior -- what, how, or where they produce. AGOA U.S. legislation enacted May 2000 providing tariff preferences to African countries that qualify, including trade facilitation and technical assistance to producers. As of January 2016, 40 countries were listed as eligible. Several countries have had their eligibility removed and some later reinstated over the years. Anti-Dumping Measures A complaint by a domestic producer that imports are being dumped, leading to an anti-dumping duty if both dumping and injury are found in the resulting investigation.

  • The Risks of Protectionism
    Box 1 THE RISKS OF PROTECTIONISM Since the intensifi cation of the global fi nancial crisis in September 2008, the sharp contraction in global trade has been a key factor propagating the economic downturn across borders, making it a truly global phenomenon.1 At the same time, protectionist pressures have been rising worldwide, as signalled by policy statements and opinion polls, as well as by recent developments in multilateral, regional and bilateral trade negotiations.2 Meanwhile anecdotal evidence of discrimination against foreign suppliers of goods and services has also been emerging. Against this background, this box discusses recent features of protectionism and the adverse implications for competitiveness, economic activity and welfare. Gauging the full extent of recent protectionist initiatives is far from easy. Relevant data become available with considerable delay and many forms of non-tariff barriers or complex forms of protection are very diffi cult to identify and quantify. Often statistics on the use of contingent protection, including safeguard measures, anti-dumping and countervailing duties, are used as an early indicator of trade protectionism. However, according to the World Trade Organization, signifi cant gaps exist in the empirical evidence on contingent protection, making it diffi cult to gather general trends from these data.3 Hence, the assessment of protectionist trends necessarily needs to rely on indirect evidence. Econometric analysis by the World Trade Organization suggests that the frequency of anti- dumping actions, countervailing duties and safeguards seems to be linked to the business cycle, with some statistical evidence of an increase in global anti-dumping activity during macroeconomic downturns.

  • Chapter 6 Subsidies and Countervailing Measures
    CHAPTER 6 SUBSIDIES AND COUNTERVAILING MEASURES 1. OVERVIEW OF RULES (1) Subsidies and Countervailing Measures Subsidies have been provided widely throughout the world as a tool for realizing government policies, in such forms as grants (normal subsidies), tax exemptions, low-interest financing, investments and export credits. There are six primary categories of subsidies, divided by purpose: 1) export subsidies, 2) subsidies contingent upon the use of domestic over imported goods, 3) industrial promotion subsidies, 4) structural adjustment subsidies, 5) regional development subsidies, and 6) research and development subsidies. By beneficiary, there are two primary categories: 1) subsidies that are not limited to specific businesses or industries (non-specific subsidies), and 2) subsidies that are limited to specific businesses and industries (specific subsidies). Although governments articulate ostensibly legitimate goals for their subsidy programmes, it is widely perceived that government subsidies may give excessive protection to domestic industries. In such cases, subsidies act as a barrier to trade, by distorting the competitive relationships that develop naturally in a free trading system. Exports of subsidized products may injure the domestic industry producing the same product in the importing country. Similarly, subsidized products may gain artificial advantages in third- country markets and impede other countries’ exports to those markets. Because of this potential the WTO Agreements prohibit with respect to industrial goods any export subsidies and subsidies contingent upon the use of domestic over imported goods, as having a particularly high trade-distorting effect. Furthermore, even for subsidies that are not prohibited, it allows Member countries importing subsidized goods to enact countermeasures, such as countervailing duties if such goods injure the domestic industry and certain procedural requirements are met .

  • U.S. Trade Law and Policy Series #7: the Countervailing Duty Law's Applicability to Nonmarket Economies
    ALAN F. HOLMER* t JUDITH HIPPLER BELLO CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS U.S. Trade Law and Policy Series #7: The Countervailing Duty Law's Applicability to Nonmarket Economies I. Introduction The U.S. Court of International Trade recently overruled the Depart- ment of Commerce's 1984 decision that the countervailing duty law cannot be applied to nonmarket economy countries. On September 17, 1985, the government filed its notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Affirmation by the appeals court of the lower court's ruling would delight domestic producers faced with nonmarket economy import competi- tion; they would likely besiege the Commerce Department with complaints about allegedly subsidized imports from nonmarket economy countries. Reversal of the lower court's ruling would be welcome news to the nonmar- ket economy countries, their producers and exporters, and U.S. importers and consumers who purchase nonmarket economy goods. It could also increase domestic support for an alternative remedy for nonmarket econ- omy imports in lieu of the antidumping and countervailing duty laws. This article reviews the Commerce Department's original decision, the Court of International Trade's reversal, and the likely significance of these develop- ments. *General Counsel, Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.

Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj The Applicability of the United States Countervailing Duty Law to Imports from Nonmarket Economy Countries Karen A. O’Brien Abstract This Note will examine the applicability of the countervailing duty law to nonmarket economies. Part I will review the legislative history of the countervailing duty statute and its judicial and ad- ministrative interpretations. Part II will discuss the Commerce Department rulings, the Court of International Trade’s reversal of these rulings in Continental Steel Corp. v. United States and the Federal Circuit’s reversal of the CIT. Finally, Part III will analyze both approaches to the issue. This Note will conclude that the counterveiling duty law should apply to goods from nonmarket economies.

Grant*** The use of antidumping (AD) and countervailing duties (CVDs) to prevent or remedy unfair trade practices has been an important issue during recent multilateral and regional trade negotiations. It is a particularly difficult issue because parties differ on the role unfair trade remedies should play in trade pol- icy. One approach is to view these measures as an attempt to remedy or offset unfair trade practices by foreign governments or exporters. Alternatively, exporters may view these measures as politically motivated

  • Antidumping, Countervailing Duties and Trade Remedies: "Let's Make a Deal"??- Views from a Domestic Practitioner
    Antidumping, Countervailing Duties and Trade Remedies: "Let's Make A Deal"??- Views from a Domestic Practitioner TERENCE P. STEWART, AMY S. DWYER, AND MARTA M. PRADO* I. Background During the Uruguay Round, various agreements were negotiated in the Rules area. One, the Agreement on Safeguards, was a first agreement expanding on the rights and obligations Members had under article XIX of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATYD of 1994. Two others were refinements of prior Codes dealing with rights and obligations under articles VI and XVI of GATT 1994. The Agreement on Implementation of article VI of GATT 1994 (Antidumping Agreement) represented the third attempt by the multi- lateral trading system to work through the rights and obligations of nations under article VI of GAT 1994 (and its predecessor GATT 1947) which, inter alia, condemns injurious dumping. Similarly, the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM Agreement) was the second cut at defining what, if any, limitations exist on nations' rights to provide subsidies under article XVI of GATT 1994 (and its predecessor GATT 1947) or how countervailing duty investigations should proceed under article VI of GATT 1994. The Antidumping and SCM Agreements are quite detailed on a host of issues, both sub- stantive (e.g., definition of dumping and actionable subsidies) and procedural (e.g., time for questionnaire responses, content of notices), and should go a long way to ensuring greater uniformity in administration by Member nations. While the Agreements required a number of changes to preexisting U.S. law, the Agreements incorporated much of U.S.

Prusa URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c0198 10 The Growing Problem of Antidumping Protection Thomas J. Prusa 10.1 Introduction While the public’s and press’s imagination has tended to focus on hot- button issues such as agriculture, labor standards, and the environment, it is the dozens, if not hundreds, of other less publicly visible policies that will largely determine the success of the Doha Round of the World Trade Or- ganization (WTO). Chief among these less celebrated policies is anti- dumping (AD). Antidumping is a fairly inconspicuous trade policy—I have never seen a picture of a WTO protestor carrying a placard lamenting the spread of AD or, for that matter, praising the virtues of AD. Despite its somewhat low public profile, many studies have shown that AD imposes heavy costs on both implementing and affected countries. For instance, Gallaway, Bloni- gen, and Flynn (1999) estimate that only the Multifiber Arrangement im- poses larger welfare costs on the U.S. economy than do antidumping and countervailing duty actions.1 Messerlin (2001) estimates that AD protec- tion and farm policies were about equally as costly for European Union Thomas J.
