Distributional Effects of Anti-Dumping Duties on the Workforce of Targeted Firms
Abstract
This paper estimates the effects of anti dumping duties on targeted Brazilian firms' employment, average wages, total wage bill and the distribution of high versus low skilled workers from 1989 to 2001. I construct propensity scores and use a mixed panel methodology to find that firms that are targeted with AD duties experience a long term decrease in their average wage level, total wage bill and number of high skilled workers when they received final AD duties. On the other hand, I find that AD duties have no significant effects on these targeted firms employment level and in their number of low skilled workers.
End of Trade: Exports After Anti-Dumping
Abstract
This paper examines the effects of anti-dumping (AD) duties on Brazilian firms from 1989 to 2001. Using a survival analysis methodology and controlling for selection into AD, the study finds that the largest impact of AD duties occurs during the investigation phase. Specifically, products named in an AD investigation are 4 times more likely to exit the market compared to the same products from non-targeted firms; additionally, if the firm received final AD duties, the targeted products are 3 times more likely to exit the destination market.

How Strong is the Anti-Dumping Punch?
Abstract
This paper studies how anti-dumping (AD) duties imposed on Brazilian firms during the period between 1989 and 2001 affect, separately, the targeted firm's total export revenue and the export revenue received from the country imposing the duties. I construct a propensity score and mixed panel methodology to find that anti-dumping duties sharply decrease the total export revenue of the targeted firm and the export revenue received from the country imposing the duties during the investigation phase and after the duties are approved.
