| The effect of retail grocery market structure on the speed of adjustment of retail food prices to changes in producer prices, real wages, and the cost of energy was examined for SMSAs. Evidence failed to support the implication of the Mason-Bain paradigm that increased concentration reduces market efficiency as reflected in speed of retail price adjustment. Evidence of strong intertemporal relationships between change in producer prices and retail prices found for the categories meat, poultry, fish, eggs and cereal and baker products provide support to the hypothesis of cost-push inflation. |

| Retail pricing indicates many phenomena, such as sales or rigidities. A number of models have been proposed in particular to explain the occurrence of sales. Focussing on the market for fresh foods the model by Varian and the loss leader argument seem to be intuitively best fitting to the conditions in the fresh food market. From these models we derive several hypotheses that are tested for a unique data set of the German fresh food retail market The data set consists of weekly prices for ten food items in 131 grocery shops over the period from 1995 to 2000. The results support to some extent the Varian model and also indicate some dynamic loss leader pricing. However, rejections of some hypothesis provide some hints for successive models adjustments.... |

| The architecture of the firm involves determination of a boundary that encompasses the functions managed by the firm. The past decade has seen substantial reorganization of firms where vertical or horizontal integration has been unbundled into weaker forms of collaborations including value chains and networks. This observation has forced a re‐conceptualization of the boundaries of the firm to incorporate such collaborations. These collaborations are virtual and highly dynamic. They emerge and persist when two conditions are met. First, they must enable generation of greater value than might be attained through independent operation and anonymous transactions through markets. Second, the resulting growth must be shared with members in a way that retains... |

| Theoretical and simulation results clarify the role of forward procurement contracting as a determinant of spot price levels and volatility. A stylized model determines market share across quality when procurers forward contract to manage quality risk. Actual supply is specified as price dependent and stochastic. Simulation examines sensitivity of spot price level and volatility to extent of forward contracting, risk aversion, and ability to adjust spot market demand (recontracting). The results show that as forward contracting increases mean spot price decreases and variance increases. This effect increases as risk aversion decreases and as the extent of recontracting adjustment in spot demand decreases. |

| This paper presents a dynamic theory of structural change in which functional change driven by technological change and transactional change open opportunity for change in scale and scope of enterprises. Implementation of change in scale and scope of enterprises is constrained by initial state conditions including resource endowments, access to credit, and regulation. In the presence of such constraints, the paper motivates the existence of thresholds that introduce cusps in the optimal paths of control variables. The evolution of enterprises is considered within the context of a multiple enterprise firm that encompasses discrete and continuous processes that are interdependent on intermediate goods as well as their production of environmental effects.... |

| Under recent dairy policy reforms, farm-level milk prices are determined by a multiple component pricing scheme that derives monthly dairy product class prices from weekly NASS survey prices for only the first two weeks of each month. This pricing rule may provide incentives for strategic behavior by dairy sector participants that could induce dairy product price volatility. This paper employs a series of nonparametric approaches to examine evidence of such price manipulation in CME weekly average dairy product prices. Empirical evidence suggests that no such week-of-month effects exist in levels of prices, and only very weak evidence of week-of-month effects in price volatility was found. Together, results suggest dairy product markets are... |
