| Abstract: | While it is widely recognized that imports can discipline markets, the strength of that disciplinary power varies across industries. The determinants and extent of this inter-industry variations in the disciplinary force of foreign trade flows is, however, relatively unexplored. The microeconomic determinants of changing import shares at the industry level for the USA manufacturing industries are investigated. Based upon this investigation, an index is created which measures the relative vulnerability of the various manufacturing industries to foreign competition. A number of hypotheses are tested concerning the underlying causes of observed variations in import vulnerability. |
