The pricing of pulpwood and spatial price discrimination: Theory and practice
分析了瑞典纸浆木材市场实际价目表，检验其是否符合空间垄断买方理论，发现当前定价与凹形供给曲线下的空间垄断买方假设一致，且对林主和买方可能互利。
<sec> The purpose of this paper is to analyse the actual price list in a segment of the Swedish pulpwood market (Price Region 1) in terms of the theory of the spatial monopsony. It is argued that the recent construction of the price list is not inconsistent with an a priori hypothesis about a spatial monopsony facing an, according to empirical data, concave supply curve. A few qualifications are necessary; one is that the Swedish forest-owners have not actively protested against the creation of the ‘price list’. It is shown, however, that the chosen price policy may well be mutually advantageous in relation to adjacent alternatives. </sec>
