This article reviews some recent anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations that involved various segments of the computer industry. Part I provides an overview of the anti-dumping laws. Part II discusses administration of the anti-dumping laws. Part III reviews recent anti-dumping investigations involving segments of the computer industry. Part IV points out some of the harmful effects of the anti-dumping laws. Part V presents some philosophical issues. Part VI offers conclusions and recommendations. The authors conclude that the anti-dumping laws violate property and contract rights, are harmful to the computer industry in particular and to trade in general, and should be repealed, the sooner the better.
