Abstract

Imports as an incentive to competition:

The international empirical evidence and the Single European Market case

This paper analyses the empirical literature which tests the hypothesis that imports may have a positive impact on competition. Most papers on industrialised countries, as well as more recent papers on de*loping countries, found a negative correlation between firma’ profit margins and the degree of import penetration. This hypothesis has been analysed also within the context of the evaluation of the economic impact of the Single European Market: empirical evidence shows that the implementation of the policy measures included in the White Paper on completing the SingLe European Market had a positive impact -on competition. This result has been confirmed by studies conducted for Italy.
