The Ambiguous Consequences of Anti-dumping Laws

Author

  • Webb, Michael

Abstract

The antidumping law is most often applied in oligopolistic industries, while most analyses focus on the monopoly model. The author analyzes a duopoly model where a foreign firm engages in price-based dumping. Under Cournot behavior, the antidumping law has ambiguous price and welfare effects. When the home firm is a Stackleberg leader, two disquieting effects emerge. First, the home firm can use the antidumping law to curtail competition even when the foreign firm does not initially engage in dumping. Second, the antidumping law can increase profits of both firms at the expense of domestic consumers. Copyright 1992 by Oxford University Press.
