Abstract

This paper is an empirical study of the formation of commercial margins in the distribution channels of fresh food products in Spain. Specifically, it employs a dynamic model to identify and measure the effect of commercial margins on the evolution of two key variables for the distribution channels analyzed: the fluctuations of prices at origin and the variations in final demand. The paper then studies the impact of the degree of uncertainty relative to the behaviour of prices at origin and at destination on the level of commercial margins for the channel. To perform this study, we used monthly data from the period January 2001 to December 2008 for twenty-seven fresh food products belonging to the categories of meat and eggs, fish and seafood, and fruits and vegetables.
