Abstract

Tanulmányunk az árak és a piaci struktúra tényezői közötti kapcsolatot vizsgálja a magyar kiskereskedelmi benzinpiacon. A szakirodalom alapján olyan modelleket építettünk, amelyek a töltőállomások által alkalmazott kiskereskedelmi árrések, valamint a koncentráció és a kútjellemzők között teremtenek kapcsolatot. Két évet felölelő, heti bontású országos adatbázist használtunk, középpontba helyezve a 95-ös oktánszámú benzin adatait. Bővítve az említett modelleket, térökonometriai eszközök segítségével a közvetlen kapcsolatot is megbecsültük adott töltőállomások és versenytársaik között. Eredményeink szerint a kiskereskedelmi árrések pozitív módon függnek a termékek és a benzinkutak jellemzőitől, negatív módon a verseny erősségétől, s ezen túlmenően pozitív kapcsolatban állnak a szomszédos versenytárs kutak ármeghatározásaival. Eredményeink megfelelnek az elméleti várakozásoknak és a korábbi empirikus vizsgálatoknak.* Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: C21, D43, L11, L13.
