Summary: | Utilizing four-dimensional
(firm-product-destination-year) Brazilian firm-level export
data, the paper shows that antidumping (AD) duties result in
a significant and dramatic increase in the unit values of
the products that firms export to duty-imposing countries.
Furthermore, it examines the effect of potential
(retaliatory) AD duties on the unit price of the firms'
shipments. The findings suggest that AD activities in Brazil
lead Brazilian exporting firms to increase their unit export
prices for the named industries' products to decrease
the dumping margin and avoid the threat of retaliation by
the target countries. |
