Conduct of Firms in Dynamic U.S. Food Industries

Author

  • Reed, A. J.

Abstract

This study describes a proCedure that is used to identify firm conduct, or the nature of competition in three food markets. The procedure assumes food-producing firms incur short-run capital adjustment costs, and pursue unchanging conduct. The estimates, however, are consistent with firms altering their conduct as market conditions change.
