| description |
The United States use of
"zeroing" in its antidumping procedures has become
a political flash point threatening some legitimacy of the
WTO's dispute settlement system. This paper provides a
positive analysis of the zeroing issue, explains how it has
evolved and who is likely to be affected by it. The authors
use economic theory to identify how export price volatility
accentuates the impact of zeroing on the size of U.S.
antidumping tariffs and review the WTO caseload over
zeroing. They describe the impact that the U.S.'s
retrospective system for assessing antidumping margins has
on zeroing and the political economy implications as the
U.S. struggles to generate policy reform. The authors survey
existing evidence of the impact of the zeroing on dumping
margins and contribute their own evidence to suggest that
zeroing is just as likely to impact the size of U.S.
antidumping duties applied on developing country exports as
developed economy exports. Thus while developed economies
have filed the vast majority of WTO disputes against the
U.S. over zeroing, the authors conclude that zeroing is also
likely a relevant issue for developing country exporters as
over 60 percent of the product lines currently subject to
U.S. antidumping are exported by developing countries. |
