| Abstract: | The aim of this paper is first to assess the usefulness of results provided by the conventional application of the bilateral index technique in the sense of Aw and Roberts (1986), using the French import market for chairs as an example. Second, it strives to compare, based on actual trade data, the applicability of two methodologies: the extended A&R method, and the method developed in Menzler-Hokkanen (1984). Third, it proposes a more meaningful way of analysing shifts in product group and/or country impacts in import markets. |
