Special Import Measures Legislation: Raising the Deterrence Level

Klaus Stegemann

Working Paper from Economics Department, Queen's University

Abstract: Canada is currently changing its antidumping law. This paper shows why and estimates the potential consequences of the proposed changes. The paper explains why deterrence of dumping is especially important to domestic producers of capital goods who have made a concentrated lobbying effort trying to persuade the federal government to implement a "three-pronged deterrence approach". While increasing the deterrence effect of antidumping procedure would aid certain producers, it could be very costly in terms of national welfare.
