Abstract: This article analyzes the effect of the EGAlim law on prices and sales of food products. The IRI data from January 2017 to February 2020 reveal a 1% inflation during the first year following the EGAlim law. However, using the causal identification method of differences-in-differences, we show that the three measures of the law, the raising in the resale below cost threshold and the supervision in volume and value of promotions, do not have any significant effect on prices in the long run on the regular stock of stores, except for the first three months on the loss leaders specifically concerned by the raising of the resale below cost threshold. Moreover, our results suggest that the supervision of promotions would play a non-negligeable role in the increase in the prices paid by consumers.
