Abstract: The aim of this paper was to analyze the effect of the United States antidumping policy over exports by the steelmaking industry of Minas Gerais between 1999 and 2002. The results showed antidumping to be an instrument which had a significant effect on the decrease in trade flows. After the analyses of the integration between econometrics results and the inter-regional input-product matrices, it was possible to conclude that the most affected sector was steelmaking, with 75% of the total product effects in the period. With regards to employment, the average impact on the Minas Gerais steelmaking industry was more than 50% of the total new job opportunities, if neither antidumping measure had been adopted; and the steelmaking industry of the other regions of the country would be responsible for more than 16% of job opportunities created in the period.
