Book excerpt: The objectives of this study are to assess the factors that are important in determining countervailing duty actions on farm commodities by the United States, and to assess what these factors mean for the design of a new safety net program (such as the Net Income Stabilization Account or NISA type) in Saskatchewan. The first part describes US countervail law and the US countervail process with emphasis on the question of specificity. Some past countervail cases in which specificity has figured are discussed. The second part uses statistical analysis to assess what roles, if any, are played by the specificity criteria and US political lobbying in countervail actions. The third phase of the study assesses what the results of the analysis mean for the design of future farm income safety nets in Canada by focusing on the parameters of a new Saskatchewan safety net program. Three features are identified that may conflict with US specificity criteria.
