Abstract

Does exposure to international trade have a pro-competitive effect on domestic pricing? This paper attends to this question in two stages: first, by developing a simple methodology to test the above proposition by linking domestic pricing behaviour to external competition via a simple mark-up technology; next, disaggregated Indian manufacturing data is used to show that the sector is imperfectly competitive and that both price and quantity competition from abroad over the last twenty years has had a dampening effect on domestic pricing behaviour.
