Abstract: Recently a number of studies have argued that foreign steel manufacturers use their export prices in relation to their domestic prices to smooth out fluctuations in home market demand. This phenomenon is called cyclical dumping. It is shown that the price discriminating monopolist model explains dumping, but its predictions with respect to cyclical dumping are ambiguous. Tests are performed for the United States, Japan and the European Community for each of three representative steel products. At conventional significance levels, the cyclical dumping hypothesis is rejected in all cases.
