U.S. Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Data and Documentation

This following are links to firm-specific data and documentation on U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty cases since 1980, collected by the author of this page, Bruce Blonigen, Department of Economics, University of Oregon, with the help of numerous student research assistants. This work was generously supported by the National Science Foundation (Grant numbers 9810706 and 0416854) and the data are free to anyone and downloadable from this page.

Case-specific data on U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty activity (as well as that for many other countries) are now available at Chad Bown's Global Antidumping Database.

On this webpage I have also included links to related sites on the internet. Feel free to email me with any questions or comments. Also, I would appreciate any information on work using the database.
