TESTING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF FOOD PRICE SPREADS

Azzeddine Azzam

Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1992, vol. 43, issue 2, 248-256

Abstract: This paper develops and illustrates a test of the competitiveness of food price spreads. The test does not require information on the structure of the food industry or estimation of conjectural variations, but rather the prices of the intermediate inputs used to produce the raw farm product and the prices of the intermediate inputs that are combined with the raw farm product to produce the final consumer good. The test is applied to the US farm/wholesale beef market.
