This volume examines the influences of technology and international trade policies on the troubled U.S. steel industry. Does leadership in technology guarantee competitive advantage in industrial markets? Or do the costs of production and the lack of investment capital offset technological gains for the domestic steel industry? Which international trade policies can help this industry, and which may be harming it? With these and other questions in view, The Competitive Status of the U.S. Steel Industry estimates global trends in steel trade, discusses patterns of production and consumption, and analyzes the possible effects of alternative governmental policies on this critically important industry.

This book provides a basic outline of the history of the American steel industry, a sector of the economy that has been an important part of the industrial system. The book starts with the 1830's, when the American iron and steel industry resembled the traditional iron producing sector that had existed in the old world for centuries, and it ends in 2001. The product of this industry, steel, is an alloy of iron and carbon that has become the most used metal in the world. The very size of the steel industry and its position in the modern economy give it an unusual relevance to the economic, social, and political system.

This paper reviews the decline in the U.S. steel industry during the past three decades and relates this decline to changes in the industry`s international competitive position. The paper also provides a review of trade policy in the area of steel since the late 1960s, and concludes that the decline in the U.S. steel industry occurred in spite of some form of protection against imports almost continuously since 1969. The paper concludes by contrasting the decline in the importance of the integrated U.S. firms with the emergence of a new, highly competitive class of U.S. steel producers, known as quot;mini-millsquot.
