| The structure of industries changes in two major ways. Mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures are considered external factors. In addition, the firm rate of internal growth will influence market concentration. If the firm grows slower than the market, concentration will go down, etc. These two factors may work in concert or pull in opposite directions. The authors investigate the trends and effects of mergers on the food marketing system. A clear trend of increasing merger activity from 1982 through 1986 is apparent. It is not clear what has happened after 1986, although accounts suggest a continued high level of merger activity. The cumulative result of these mergers is even more pronounced when combined with the growth trends in each sector. |

| The beef industry in the United States consists of several distinct production levels ranging from the cow-calf producer at the lowest level to the final consumer. These sectors face varying levels of profitability, degrees of market power, conflicting goals, and price signals. Environmental regulations involve questions of what costs are involved, who is in a position to pay these costs, and whether market prices are capable of signaling different environmental practices. Understanding the relationships within the beef industry may allow researchers to fine-tune analyses of environmental issues in the beef industry. |

| The farm financial crisis, combined with deregulation of the U.S. banking system, has created a new environment within which the Farm Credit System competes. Despite their unique business clientele, the Banks for Cooperatives (BCs) have been adversely affected by this changed environment. In 1987, the BCs requested an economic analysis of possible consolidation alternatives, with emphasis on the economies of size they might achieve. Summary results of that analysis are presented here. A 47 basis point reduction in interest rates charged borrowers was estimated to result from a total consolidation of the BCs. |

| The presence and behavior of private labels add a significant dimension to price competition among the food system's subsectors. Recent surveys in two college towns in Texas show a larger price difference between national brands and private labels than previous studies. The increase in price differences are attributed to "horizontal" and "vertical" influences on prices and also to advertising and the proliferation of brands. This competitive process gives the consumer the advantage of new products and products with brand appeal (national brands) as well as low cost copies (private labels) of these successful products. |
