This paper considers the profit‐seeking firm that has the opportunity to export, as a price taker, to an uncertain rest‐of‐the‐world market. When that firm competes domestically as an oligopolist the competitive export option can impact on both the firm and its domestic competitiors. The latter conjecture is explored and the resulting inferences are offered as a possible explanation for the market structures that tend to evolve in international markets.
