A firm perspective of antidumping and countervailing duty cases in the United States of America

(Springer, 2007) Lindeque, Johan Paul

The role played by firms in the prosecution of antidumping and countervailing duty cases in the United States of America is understudied. This paper provides greater understanding of the challenges faced by firms during the process of prosecuting antidumping and countervailing duty cases in the United States of America. This is achieved by applying a theoretical model of corporate political activity to data collected through interviews with 24 trade attorneys in Washington DC, practicing in the area of antidumping and countervailing duty law. Antidumping and countervailing duty cases are found to require significant resource commitments from firms in the participating industries, as well as requiring individual firms to make a number of strategic decisions. The value of an affirmative decision and imposition of duties to the domestic and foreign industry is found to be more nuanced than previous studies have suggested. Non-duty effects of AD and CVD cases are also confirmed. Finally a clearer understanding of the role of individual firms in antidumping and countervailing duty cases is shown to have the potential to improve how industry influence is taken account of in future research.

A statistical analysis of the web presences of European life sciences research teams

(2008) Barjak, Franz; Thelwall, Mike

Web links have been used for around ten years to explore the online impact of academic information and information producers. Nevertheless, few studies have attempted to relate link counts to relevant offline attributes of the owners of the targeted Web sites, with the exception of research productivity. This article reports the results of a study to relate site inlink counts to relevant owner characteristics for over 400 European life-science research group Web sites. The analysis confirmed that research-group size and Web-presence size were important for attracting Web links, although research productivity was not. Little evidence was found for significant influence of any of an array of factors, including research-group leader gender and industry connections. In addition, the choice of search engine for link data created a surprising international difference in the results, with Google perhaps giving unreliable results. Overall, the data collection, statistical analysis and results interpretation were all complex and it seems that we still need to know more about search engines, hyperlinks, and their function in science before we can draw conclusions on their usefulness and role in the canon of science and technology indicators.
