We show that various procedures surrounding the administration of U.S. antidumping (AD) cases gives firms incentives to

Our discussion in the present paper builds upon our two earlier
analyses of international fragmentation (1990, 1998),
focussing upon the importance of service links in connecting
fragmented production blocks.
The next section of this paper probes the
fundamentals of the fragmentation process and how prices
may adjust in global markets....
Few aquatic products of the United States have limited competition from imported supplies. This situation existed with the
domestic supply of freshwater crawfish until 1994. The 52 thousand MT round weight domestic production from aquaculture and
capture fisheries experienced major import competition at that point. Imports of value added crawfish...
This work analyses empirically the exploitation dynamics from 1997 to 2003, of the most important
segment of the Spanish fishing fleet operating in the EU waters, also known as “300 fleet”. The aim of the
analysis is exploring the economic consequences of the coming into force of the new approaches...
