We present a model that shows that exchange rate pass-through is likely to be substantially altered when firms face antidumping (AD) duties and that optimal pass-through of AD duties may be up to 200 percent. We examine both pass-through issues using monthly prices across 345 U.S.- imported...

Am 8. März hat US-Präsident Donald Trump Importzölle auf Stahl- und Aluminiumprodukte von 25% bzw. 10% verhängt, die zunächst auf alle Handelspartner mit Ausnahme von Kanada, Mexiko und Australien anzuwenden sind. Eine Analyse von Handelsdaten der Jahre 2005 bis 2016 zeigt, dass keine...

In this paper we propose a new indicator of monthly global real economic activity, named world steel production. We use world steel production, OECD industrial production index and Kilian's rea index to forecast world real GDP, and key commodity prices. We find that world steel production...

We propose the mathematical model of the price movement for the carbon steel and ferrous scrap from the market data. First, we check two models for the ferrous scrap data, i.e., one is a linear Gaussian model, and the other is a lognormal model. Secondly, the mathematical model of the carbon...

The world iron ore and steel trade is undergoing significant restructuring, with rapidly developing economies in regions such as China, India, and South Korea emerging as key centers of growth in the sector. Alternatively, the industrialized economies of the European Union, Japan, and North...

Grundlagen, Aufgaben und Rahmenbedingungen der Recyclingplanung für Eisenhüttenschlacken -- Bestehende Ansätze -- Konzeption und Implementierung des Ansatzes zur operativen Recyclingplanung für Eisenhüttenschlacken -- Fallstudienbasierte Anwendung und Validierung

Since the iron and steel sector contributes considerably to industrial CO2 emissions it is important to identify the underlying factors driving steel demand. Using a panel dataset this paper examines the interrelation of steel demand with GDP and its composition, in particular the investment...

Grundstoffindustrien waren historisch betrachtet häufig der Ausgangpunkt von Innovationen, die die Entwicklung von Volkswirtschaften vorantrieben. So wäre der Aufschwung der Industrie in der zweiten Hälft e des 19. Jahrhunderts nicht möglich gewesen, hätten nicht Innovationen das Angebot an...

Die weltweite Produktion von Rohstahl schwankt seit Anfang 2011 auf annähernd unverändertem Niveau (Schaubild 1). Während 2011 eine leichte Abwärtstendenz überwog, war in der ersten Hälfte dieses Jahres eine verhaltene Aufwärtsbewegung zu erkennen. Zuletzt war die Erzeugung wieder leicht...

Der internationale Markt für Stahl hatte sich von dem tiefen Einbruch während der Rezession 2008/09 rasch erholt. Bereits im März 2010 übertraf die weltweite Rohstahlerzeugung das vor der Finanzkrise erreichte Niveau. Entscheidend hierfür war die ungebrochen kräftige Nachfrage in China,...

Konjunkturelle Schwankungen machen sich erfahrungsgemäß in der Stahlindustrie besonders deutlich bemerkbar. Die wichtigsten Stahlverwender sind die Investitionsgüterhersteller, die ihrerseits markante Konjunkturzyklen erleben. Verstärkt werden diese Ausschläge durch einen ausgeprägten...

On 15 September 2010, the United States requested consultations with China with respect to measures imposing countervailing duties and anti-dumping duties on grain oriented flat-rolled electrical steel (“GOES”) from the United States as set forth in Ministry of Commerce of the People's...

Ocean iron fertilization is currently discussed as a potential measure to mitigate climate change by enhancing oceanic CO2 uptake. Its mitigation potential is not yet well explored, and carbon offsets generated through iron fertilization activities could currently not be traded on regulated...

Diminishing emission budgets and increasing risks of catastrophic damages from climate change require analyses of rapid response options including geoengineering options such as ocean iron fertilization (OIF). To decide whether or not OIF might be such an option an assessment of its potential as...

Despite large uncertainties in the fertilization efficiency, natural iron fertilization studies and some of the purposeful iron enrichment studies have demonstrated that Southern Ocean iron fertilization can lead to a significant export of carbon from the sea surface to the ocean interior. From...

To stay within the 2êC temperature increase target for climate change calls for ambitious emission reduction targets already for the 2012-2020 compliance period. Cost-efficiency is a crucial criterion for the enforcement of such ambitious targets, requiring analyses of all possible abatement...

From publisher's description: Big Steel explores how the integrated steel industry is adapting to trade and international competition. These arise from the industry's diffusion beyond its historical core in North America and Europe. To show this occurred, Big Steel applies Paul Krugman's Nobel...
