The Effects of NAFTA on Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Activity
研究了北美自由贸易协定争端解决小组是否减少了美加墨之间的反倾销和反补贴税活动，发现几乎没有效果，质疑其有效性。
Treatment of unfair trade laws has become an important topic in negotiations on preferential trading areas. Recent preferential trading areas involving the United States, one of the most significant users of these laws, have established special binational dispute settlement panels to arbitrate disagreements. Using a panel database of U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty activity from 1980 through 2000, the article examines whether the use of dispute settlement panels has reduced such activity between the United States and its North American Free Trade Agreement partners. The analysis finds little evidence for any effect, calling into question the effectiveness of dispute settlement panels in reducing unfair trade law activity.
