Market Power And Asymmetry In Farm-Retail Price Transmission

Author

Listed:
  • Acharya, Ram N.

Abstract

A finite mixture model is used to examine whether price asymmetries exist in U.S. fresh strawberry markets. Two distinct pricing regimes are identified. Results show that price asymmetries exist only at 34 percent of the cases and market power has played an important role in generating such asymmetric price relationships.
