Subject: Case- and Firm-specific Database on U.S. Antidumping Activity, 1980-1995.

Through recent work, funded by the National Science Foundation, a new
database on U.S. antidumping activity for all cases filed from 1980 through
1995 has been developed, which is now posted on the internet and available
to everyone at:
http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~bruceb/adpage.html
Available are three Excel spreadsheets of data (which I describe more
below), as well as variable descriptions and documentation in accompanying
Word documents. The webpage also has links to government agencies involved
in antidumping policies, as well as to current researchers in antidumping
policy. I'm also posting links to online working papers on antidumping
activity. I hope this will be a useful research and educational tool for
international trade economists.
The following are brief descriptions of the three available data files:
U.S. ANTIDUMPING CASE-SPECIFIC DATA
This spreadsheet file contains information on U.S. antidumping cases filed
from 1980 through 1995 (U.S. International Trade Commission cases
731-TA-001 through 731-TA-739). Case-specific information includes
1) U.S. International Trade Commission case number.
2) Investigated country.
3) Investigated product and associated 4-digit SIC industry.
4) Final decision of the antidumping case.
5) Dollar value of investigated product (often estimated).
6) Trade-weighted average antidumping duty for affirmative cases.
7) Dates and Federal Register notices connected with important antidumping
case events.
8) Market shares (when available) for U.S. domestic industry, investigated
import sources and non-investigated import sources.
U.S. ANTIDUMPING FIRM-SPECIFIC DATA
This spreadsheet file contains information on U.S. antidumping cases filed
from 1980 through 1995 (U.S. International Trade Commission cases
731-TA-001 through 731-TA-739). In particular it details information on
foreign firms for which the U.S. Department of Commerce calculated
firm-specific dumping margins (at the very least in their preliminary
determination) Firm-specific information in this file includes:
1) Basic case identifiers including case number, investigated product and
country.
2) Name of foreign firm.
3) Firm-specific antidumping duty (when case is ruled affirmative).
4) Information on U.S. Department of Commerce procedures followed in
calculating firm's antidumping duty (e.g., the use of "best information
available").
5) Information on subsequent administrative review of firm's antidumping
duty, including resulting antidumping duty, and whether the foreign firm
and/or domestic parties requested the review.
FIRM-SPECIFIC DATA ON TARIFF-JUMPING OF U.S. AD DUTIES
This spreadsheet file contains information on tariff-jumping by
investigated firms in the products subject to U.S. antidumping cases filed
from 1980 through 1995 (U.S. International Trade Commission cases
731-TA-001 through 731-TA-739. Firm-specific information in this file
includes:
1) Basic case identifiers including case number, investigated product and
country.
2) Name of foreign parent firm.
3) Name and location of associated affiliate/plant in the United States.
4) Establishment date of affiliate plant.
5) Type of entry by foreign firm (e.g., acquisition or new plant)
6) Employment of U.S. affiliate/plant.
