This paper examines how the rules, institutions and procedures of dispute settlement under the GATT/WTO system can affect the decisions made under a nation's antidumping provisions.  That is, we consider a national government's antidumping duty (ADD) decision in a framework which explicitly models the consequence of misusing antidumping provisions as a GATT/WTO trade dispute. We first illustrate when it is that the current set of rules of dispute settlement are ill-equipped to dissuade countries from abusing AD provisions. We then explore how the GATT/WTO rules and procedures can affect the imposed pattern of ADDs as well as the different resolutions to the disputes. Finally, we evaluate proposals for reform of antidumping measures and dispute resolution within the WTO.
