Working Paper from Economics Department, Queen's University

Abstract: This paper reports tests of two models of pricing behaviour using cross-sectional data or relative Canadian/United States prices and costs, and on Canadian tariff protection and market structure. The main results are: 1) the market power model is statistically better supported than the law of one price; 2) Tariff protections matters, but only in association with seller concentration; 3) relative cost are most important in unconcentrated industries.
