| Abstract: | This paper measures the degree of competition faced by Spanish and Italian exporters of ceramic tiles in several European Union (EU) member states. The results indicate that Spanish producers have a substantial market power while Italian exporters face a high degree of competition. This finding is consistent with the significant gain (loss) in the world production and export shares that Spanish (Italian) producers experienced during the 1990s. The results are also consistent with accounting data. In addition, comparisons in the extent of market power across source countries and European destination markets reveal that most variation in the data is related to the source country. |
