| Tiivistelmä: | Increases in import competition led to large increases in labour productivity growth in highly concentrated industries during the period from 1975 through 1987. The finding is based on a panel of 94 manufacturing industries observed over four periods, each of three years duration. Imports had no observable effects on productivity growth in less concentrated industries; the strong effects in concentrated industries did not occur contemporaneously but appeared with a one period lag. |
