Resumen
Descripción
This study measured the effect of increased concentration on industry market power and cost efficiency, using a bilateral oligopoly model. Cost efficiency gains dominate market power effects from increase in industry concentration. This result is consistent with previous finding that consolidation in the U.S. beef industry is efficiency driven.
