Estimation of Cost Pass Through to Michigan Consumers in the ADM Price Fixing Case
No full textThis report analyzes the economic impact of price fixing in the wet corn milling industry on consumers in the State of Michigan. Two of the companies who produce citric acid have pleaded guilty to fixing its price. In this report we assume that price fixing also occurred among HFCS producers. Given the structure of the corn wet milling industry and the direct purchaser industries, the overcharge is essentially uniform across buyers and selling arrangements. We develop an actual economic model of price transmission based upon the three facts: 1) The overcharge as a percent of the processed product value at wholesale and at retail is small, 2) Fixed proportion technology, and 3) consumers have imperfect information about prices so a small price change has no effect on their purchase behavior. These facts establish that 100 percent or more of the common overcharge will be passed through to consumers. In a more general economic model, we analyze pass through when consumer demand is not perfectly inelastic. For different strategies (profit maximization, sales maximization subject to a target level of profit, and loss leader strategies) and for different market structures (competitive, monopoly, oligopoly), the rate of pass through is 100 percent or greater given certain documented characteristics of the industries in this case. Given the prior points consumer damages are the common overcharges for each commodity times the amount of the commodity sold during the damage period. This is a lower bound estimate of consumer damages because pass through may well be greater than 100%.price fixing, overcharge, cost pass through, fixed proportion production technology, flexible demand specifications, competitive structure, Agribusiness, Crop Production/Industries, Demand and Price Analysis,
An Antitrust Economic Analysis of Stop & Shop's Proposed Acquisition of the Big V Shop Rite Supermarket Chain
No full textIn early 2002, the Royal Ahold subsidiary, Stop & Shop Supermarkets, offered to purchase the Big V supermarket chain, which was in bankruptcy court after three successive, unsuccessful leveraged buyouts over the past ten years. At a later date, Pathmark Supermarkets joined the offer to purchase. Big V was Wakefern Food Corporations largest member. The acquisition was a horizontal merger in at least three local markets, Newburgh NJ, Poughkeepsie NY, and Trenton NJ. This research was conducted for the Wakefern Food Corporation who provided much of the underlying data and information. We presented this report to the Bureau of Competition, Federal Trade Commission in March 2002 and to the New Jersey and New York Attorney Generals, Antitrust Section in April 2002. Thereafter, the Federal Trade Commission issued a second request in its merger review, and the bankruptcy judge ruled against the Stop & Shop/Pathmark offer. Big V subsequently was purchased by Wakefern and remains in the Shop Rite supermarket cooperative system.horizontal merger, market power, predation, Agribusiness, Industrial Organization,
A high-resolution Holocene fault activity history of the Aigion Shelf, Gulf of Corinth, Greece
No full textThe Gulf of Corinth is a continental rift in the western Aegean, Greece. It is the most active rift basin in Europe, with maximum N-S extension rates across the rift of ~15 mm yr-1. The data presented in this thesis reveal the behaviour of the Aigion Shelf Fault, part of one of the active normal fault systems in the Gulf of Corinth, over the past ~12 kyr, using high-resolution seismic reflection and multibeam bathymetry datasets.The Aigion Shelf Fault is part of an en echelon system comprising four basin bounding faults that control the southern margin of the Gulf of Corinth. It is a segmented, N-dipping normal fault, which overlaps and is active concurrently with the older Western Eliki Fault. It forms the southern boundary to a graben structure that narrows eastwards, which is bounded to the north by a S-dipping segmented fault. Approximately 500 m west of the shelf edge the graben geometry changes, with the Aigion Shelf Fault stepping north, and the S-dipping fault switching polarity to become N-dipping.Sequence stratigraphic markers relating to the post-lowstand transgression and more recent progradational beach deltaics form the boundaries between three distinct seismic packages, enabling quantification of fault slip rates and changes in sediment deposition. Isopachs from five specific time periods show that the development of depocentres is predominantly controlled by faulting.Displacement on the Aigion Shelf is distributed over a complex fault population. This is interpreted as a damage zone associated with the eastern tip of the Aigion Shelf Fault, formed through upward bifurcation of fault splays from a single structure at depth. The combined spatially averaged total slip rate for all the splays identified is 2.6 0.4 mm yr ± -1. The average vertical displacement rate on the Aigion Shelf Fault is ~0.6 0.1 mm yr ± -1. Significant short-term spatial and temporal variability within the 12 kyr time period suggests the influence of segment boundaries, and periods of enhanced activity over 1 kyr timescales representing multiple earthquake cycles. Observation periods of >4 kyr are found to represent the longer-term displacement behaviour on the Aigion Shelf Fault.The displacement profile of the Aigion Shelf Fault indicates that it is extends onshore. There is no apparent structural link between the main Aigion and Aigion Shelf Faults. However, a similarity in displacement rates and profiles suggest that both are immature structures that form part of the larger Aigion-Neos Erineos Fault system. Fault structure plots indicate that there has been no lateral fault growth over the Holocene, with burial and mortality of minor faults. Formation of growth wedges against both the Aigion Shelf Fault and S-dipping graben bounding fault indicate that the relative dominance of both faults has varied spatially and temporally
Author's Response to Kenneth Bailey's Review of "The Public Interest and Private Economic Power: A Case Study of the Northeast Dairy Compact " *
No full textPennsylvania State University review our study. Dr. Bailey has posted his review on his website, which in fact is where we found it. Here we will respond to every sentence of that review, to every point that he raises, and to every opinion that he states. The public deserves no less. In fact we have written a 20-page paper in response to his comments (Cotterill and Franklin 2001b). It compares our approach to his in a study of the Dairy Compact dated July 2000. We also revise our work in response to his criticisms; however, our basic conclusions are, if anything, stronger. We would request that he add our website to his review so that the public can easily access our report and our responses to his review, as well as his review. Bailey: "I am more than willing to assist the Compact Commission with an unbiased assessment of this study". Cotterill and Franklin Response: He should let others decide whether his review is unbiased. As we document in this response, it is biased because much of it is inaccurate and false. In a recent paper Bailey summarizes our study saying, “Cotterill and Franklin also concluded that the Compact had no impact on retail milk prices (Bailey 2001, p. 2). ” This is a biased an
The Material World
No full textUsing the cosmos as a backdrop, Rodney Cotterill delivers a fascinating journey of Nature's materials, from the atom to the living organism. This is a beautifully illustrated, expanded account of the highly praised Cambridge Guide to the Material World. The author seamlessly blends the physics, chemistry and biology of Nature, portraying matter with all its elegance and flaws. Although the book is divided into material types, the author connects concepts and pinpoints commonalities between the inorganic and organic domains. It challenges the reader to question our structured view of the world and whether this limits our scientific endeavour, aptly demonstrated by the new chapter devoted exclusively to the mind. Through the breadth of topics and engaging prose, this book will act as a superb introduction to material science for students and those intrigued by the material world we live in.</jats:p
