TRADE REMEDY LAWS AND NAFTA AGRICULTURAL TRADE

No 11962, Working Papers from University of California, Davis, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics

Abstract: Trade remedy law is viewed as a major vehicle for protection in U.S. agriculture. The objective of this paper is to summarize the use of trade remedy law by U.S. agriculture and to highlight examples of where the use of these laws conflicts with free trade agreements such as NAFTA. Empirical evidence is presented of the effects of U.S. trade remedy laws on agricultural imports. We find evidence that is consistent with trade diversion on positive rulings and an "investigation effect" on negative rulings.
