Industry Reviews

'This is a well-written piece of work which focuses on price and markup behaviour. It surveys previous studies, and makes its own additions to the theory of pricing. The main contribution of the work is the empirical work in which the author undertakes the estimation of price equations for a number of countries on a comparable basis. In this way the book adds to the understanding of price behaviour.' -- Malcolm Sawyer, University of Leeds, UK
'Michael Olive makes an important contribution to our understanding of price dynamics and the determinants of markups in the global economy. He estimates domestic and foreign influences on pricing in 24 manufacturing industries over 11 major industrial countries, using data covering the rise and decline of worldwide inflation from 1970 through 1991. The results show that the major influence on price inflation in an industry is invariably the change in its own production cost. However, upward movements in the domestic business cycle and increases in prices of both foreign competitors and other domestic industries often significantly increase inflation, particularly in industries with both high trade exposure and high concentration of domestic production (i.e. a small number of domestic producers). These results should be of great interest to economic policymakers as well as to academics trying to unravel the complexities of inflation in a highly interdependent modern economy. As an extra bonus, there is a very thorough and insightful discussion of pricing theory and previous empirical work on pricing in open economies.' -- Harry Bloch, Curtin Business School, Curtin University of Technology, Australia
'Olive provides an unusually broad and deep literature review, which will be useful to other scholars. And he adds to this his own original and successful research into the increasingly important question of the determinants of international differences in pricing behaviour.' -- Tim Hazledine, University of Auckland, New Zealand
