摘要：
The paper presents an empirical analysis of the behaviour of UK imports of manufactures, intended to develop understanding of non-price competitiveness by evaluating the impact of capacity constraints, international specialisation, and industrial standards. Two data sets are employed: aggregate data for the period 1970-93, and a panel of 81 industries for 1985-90. Structural stability in a model of the former suggests that no competitiveness improvement has occurred in domestic UK manufacturing which matches that found elsewhere for exports. The panel model shows the important impact of standards on imports, while confirming that skilled labour shortages are a key source of volatility.
