Unlocking Australia's Contingent Protection Black Box

Donald Feaver and Kenneth Wilson

The Economic Record, 1998, vol. 74, issue 224, 62-73

Abstract: In this paper, the material injury outcome decisions of the Australian regulatory authority (the Anti‐Dumping Authority) are analyzed in order to determine which factors are influential in determining outcome decisions. The paper tests hypotheses concerning how the Australian authorities decide whether an Australian industry has suffered material injury as required under the relevant Australian legislation and the GATT/WTO obligations. The paper concludes that even though the Australian authorities follow a procedurally correct and GATT‐consistent approach, there is nevertheless some evidence of protectionist bias in favour of domestic industries.
