Overview: This paper examines the extent to which a false detection of Pricing-To-Market (pseudo PTM) arises from the use of unit value data. To do so, the authors analyze two scenarios. Both scenarios involve a monopolist located in the home country producing a low- and high-quality variety of a good. In the first scenario, arbitrage prevails and the monopolist sets the same price to both markets for a given variety. In the second scenario, arbitrage is not possible and the monopolist price discriminates between the two markets. Pseudo PTM is found in both scenarios.
