Revisiting the US food retail consolidation wave: regulation, market power and spatial outcomes
回顾了Neil Wrigley关于美国食品零售业企业重组的研究，评估其在当代的重要性，追踪过去十年至今的竞争与监管趋势，关注市场集中、新业态实验及反垄断裁决。
This paper revisits Neil Wrigley's influential research that explored the corporate restructuring of the US food retail sector, which was characterised by a focus on the spatial implications of merger activity, market concentration and competition regulation.It assesses the importance of this scholarship in a contemporary context, tracking these competitive and regulatory trends from a decade ago to the present.This is of particular interest given the continued concentration of market power and related competitive shake-out; the innovative experimentation with new store formats; anti-trust rulings concerning market definition by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC); and the challenges faced by European entrants to the market.
