| Abstract: | This paper examines empirically the impact of foreign competition, market structure and barriers to entry on the trade performance in the car industry. The pattern of international trade and structural characteristics of different markets are studied using OECD car industry data. The results reveal that, for most countries, the market shares of exporters depend on cross-country differences in relative unit labour costs, differences in income levels, and differences in market structure. |
