摘要

The method described by Levinsohn and Feenstra (Journal of International Economics, 1990, 28, 199-215) to identify the set of competitors faced by a differentiated product is modified to deal with the case in which the set of characteristics describing the product includes one or more dummy variables. This is illustrated by an application to the Belgian car market. An algorithm is also proposed in the appendix.
