Abstract

A tanulmány az árak és a koncentráció közötti összefüggéseket vizsgálja a magyar kiskereskedelmi üzemanyagpiacon. Bemutatja, hogy a koncentrációs szintek lokális különbségei csak kis részben magyarázzák az egyes földrajzi területek közötti adott időpontbeli jelentős árkülönbséget. Az egyes időpontok közötti árkülönbségek ugyanakkor igen jól magyarázhatók a kiskereskedelmi árak nagykereskedelmi árváltozásokra adott reakciójával. A kiskereskedelmi ár (árrés) és a lokális piacokon - a versenyző kutak számával - mért koncentráció között szignifikánsan negatív, ugyanakkor gyakorlati értelemben gyenge kapcsolat mutatható ki. A szimmetrikus ártranszmisszió lokális szinten sem mutat eltéréseket, mértékét nem befolyásolja a lokális koncentráció. Journal of Economic Literature (JEL ) kód: D43, L13, L49.
