Abstract

This paper investigates whether the pervasive dispersion of automobile prices within the Eurozone (1999-2006) is caused by the existence of market segmentation and divergences in the market structures. The results concerning the Pricing to Market behavior of the United Kingdom exporters indicate that it is heterogeneous across the Eurozone countries, which suggests that the goods markets are not totally integrated.
