Empirical studies of anti-dumping activity focus almost exclusively on the period since 1980. This paper puts recent US anti-dumping experience in historical context by studying the determinants of annual case filings over the past half century. The conventional view that few anti-dumping cases existed prior to 1980 is not correct, although most did not result in the imposition of duties. The increased number of cases in recent decades largely reflects petitions that target multiple-source countries; the number of imported products involved has actually fallen since the mid-1980s. The annual number of anti-dumping cases is influenced by the unemployment rate, the exchange rate, import penetration (closely related to the decline in average tariffs), and changes in the anti-dumping law and its enforcement in the early 1980s.

- The empirical landscape of trade policy (2016, background): “Knetter and Prusa (2003) provide evidence consistent with such an interpretation for high-income G4 economies (Australia, Canada, EU, US) over the 1980-1998 period, as does Irwin (2005) for the United States over earlier decades.”
