Abstract

Les auteurs utilisent le modèle des variations conjecturales pour estimer le pouvoir de marché de l'activité alimentaire de détail en France. Ils supposent que cette activité est multi-produits en distinguant trois biens (les viandes, les produits laitiers et les autres produits alimentaires), et qu'elle peut exercer un pouvoir de marché en amont, sur le marché des biens alimentaires de gros et, en aval, sur le marché des consommations finales. Le modèle permet ainsi d'expliquer la formation des marges commerciales pour les trois biens considérés.
