The Soviet Impact on International Trade in Asbestos

  • Chapter

Abstract

The central part of this chapter is concerned with the patterns of Soviet trade in asbestos and their impact on market structure, market power and price formation.

Moreover, much of the information presented below has been obtained from industry experts who answered our questionnaires.
