Differential Pricing Analysis

The Commerce Department uses a differential pricing analysis to detect whether companies are selling goods across different time periods, regions or purchasers in an effort to mask the dumping of their products into the U.S. market. As part of this analysis, the agency will use a statistical test, called the Cohen's d test, to see if the prices of the exporter's U.S. sales vary significantly across region, time period or purchaser. Use of this test as part of the differential pricing analysis has been subject to much litigation, with the primary point of contention being whether Commerce must satisfy basic statistical assumptions such as roughly equal variances and normally-distributed data sets when running the test.

Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").
