Dumping

Abstract

Traditional dumping theory consists of an analysis of monopolistic price determination between national markets. The present paper develops an alternative theory motivated by contemporary experience. This theory views dumping as an integral part of the relationship between domestic factor markets and international commodity markets in a world of uncertainty and sluggish adjustment. Key determinants identified by the theory include the pattern of demand uncertainty, alternatives available to the unemployment of factors, and relative endowments of factors with distinct contractual arrangements. The balance of the paper isolates the role of each determinant.
