Abstract: | This paper is the first attempt to analyze ITC Commissioner voting behavior on sunset reviews of antidumping cases. Sunset
determinations entail greater complexity than initial antidumping investigations because ITC commissioners must account for
the impact of dumping protection as well as competitive forces on industry conditions. Empirical findings indicate that ITC
voting is based on both sunset regulation and nonstatutory factors. Results reveal apparent biases against Chinese competitors
and poorer nations generally, and favorable treatment toward U.S. steel producers and high-wage industries. There is also
evidence of preferential treatment of industries located in states of Senate oversight committee members. JEL no. F13 |
