Estimating the Extent of Imperfect Competition in the Food Industry: What Have We Learned?
回顾了自1980年代末以来使用新实证产业组织方法分析食品行业市场势力的实证研究,探讨该方法对食品零售市场势力及制造商与零售商纵向合约安排分析的适用性。
Since the late‐1980s, empirical analysis has typically analysed the extent of market power in the food industry using structural econometric models drawing on an approach commonly termed the new empirical industrial organisation (NEIO). In this paper, we examine what has been learned from the use of this methodology, and consider whether it has relevance for empirical analysis of market power in food retailing, and the nature of vertical contractual arrangements between food manufacturers and retailers.
