Abstract: | This paper estimates the mark-up of price over marginal cost in manufacturing for the seven major OECD countries. Applying Hall's approach to market-power measurement the author has estimated the cyclical behavior of the mark-up. A substantial degree of market power has been estimated in all countries examined and procyclical movements in the mark-up. Competition seems to affect the level of mark-up negatively. At the core of many new-Keynesian models is the assumption that markets are imperfect, i. e. prices exceed marginal cost. |
