Abstract

Since 1970 several new theories and alternative interpretations have challenged the traditional industrial organization view of market competition. These range from the superior efficiency view of the Chicago school to theories of strategic groups and behavior. An important opportunity exists for empirical research to test these alternative views. This research is particularly appropriate for public researchers interested in agribusiness management since it has clear implications for both the public and private sectors.
