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...

Scientific knowledge is crucial to opening up new possibilities for major technological advances. However, the role of science has not been regarded as important in the innovations leading to modern steelmaking. In addition, how did science begin to play an important role? Mokyr focuses on the...

The construction industry contributes around 18% of greenhouse gas emissions, 40% of depletion of natural resources, and 25% of wastes globally. To reduce these impacts, construction industries can adopt low-carbon alternatives for construction materials and waste minimisation strategies,...

Stagflation, a simultaneous increase in inflation and unemployment, is generally thought to result from exogenous oil shocks. In this paper, we investigate another potential source of stagflation focusing on tariffs. Relying on the estimation of structural VAR model with sign restrictions over...

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 2007, the European cement and steel sectors have been characterized by substantial surplus production capacity. Hence re-investment in primary production of many materials remains limited and endangers the longer-term economic viability of many plants. Opportunities for innovation and...

Seit 2007 ist die europäische Zement- und Stahlindustrie mit einer starken Nachfragereduktion konfrontiert, die zu Überkapazitäten führte. Aus diesem Grund kommt es nur in begrenztem Maße zu Reinvestitionen bei Produktionsanlagen. Dies gefährdet jedoch die längerfristige...

Residential construction has made an important contribution to China's economic growth over recent decades. Given China's large population and the extensive use of steel in its urban residential development, this investment has also been an important driver of growing demand for Australia's...

Basic ferroalloys are some of the most important ingredients for producing carbon and special steel (using ferrochrome and other special ferroalloys). The market of basic ferroalloys is somehow independent of other raw materials markets, depending mostly of steel. There are sometimes speculative...

Одним из важных факторов, влияющих на уровень конкурентоспособности любого предприятия или отрасли в целом, является деятельность поставщиков и потребителей....

The recent U.S. trade policy shift has reignited interest about the macroeconomic effects of import tariffs. In this paper, we examine the impacts of import tariff shocks on U.S. macroeconomic performance using quarterly data from 1989-2017. Relying upon the estimation of structural VAR model...

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...
