This paper takes a microeconometric approach to the study of exchange rate pass-through
in imperfectly competitive markets.We provide evidence for the hypothesis that incomplete
exchange rate pass-through can be attributed to non-competitive conduct by foreign firms. A
unique feature of our approach is the use of highly disaggregated industry data which is
compatible with the behavioral assumptions of a homogeneous-product oligopoly model.
We employ a panel data set consisting of location- and product-specific price and cost data
for 29 traded petrochemicals for the US, Germany and Japan during 1982 to 1993. Our
empirical estimates indicate that German and Japanese firms exercised (statistically)
significant market power in the US petrochemical market during our sample period.
