This paper examines the importance of expectations in the determination of U.K. export prices. Export prices are found to depend upon expectations of total domestic unit costs and foreign prices. The non‐linear restrictions implied by the forward‐looking model are found to hold and it performs adequately relative to a backward‐looking error feedback model. The law of one price is rejected and the evidence is consistent with imperfect competition in export markets.
