A Model Of Imperfect Competition Using Marginal Input And Output Prices: Application To The Beef Packing Industry

Author Info

Muth, Mary K.

Abstract

Based on Diewert's idea that models under competition can be generalized to imperfect competition using marginal prices, we develop a test for imperfect competition in the beef packing industry. Our model is more general and flexible than those depending on empricial estimates of the input supply and output demand elasticities.
