Expanding the market power framework: new theories and models to understand competition and coordination in agri-food supply chains. Market power, defined as the ability of a firm (or group of firms) to set and maintain price above (or below, for inputs) the level that would prevail under competition, has been a key concept in supply chain analysis and market organization studies for decades. Yet, recent studies questioned the ability of the market power framework to predict economic behaviour in the agri-food system, and new theories and extended models are being developed to explain empirical evidence. The seminar considers this new literature and explores the implications of the emerging characteristics of the agri-food supply chains for scholars, policy makers and the industry. Background. The increasing complexity of food systems have led researchers to question the ability of market power models to interpret and fully explain the economic interactions along the supply chain, or even describe price distributions. Food price rigidity, asymmetric price transmission, agricultural price volatility are examples of the many empirical characteristics that are not explained by the most commonly used pricing models, such as perfect competition or market power. Furthermore, the standard market power models - focusing on price and quantity setting - may be unable to capture key elements of today’s agri-food supply chains, such as the increasing importance of non-price competition, product differentiation, complex business practices, contracts, long-run incentives or sustainability and social responsibility. Industrial organization literature has developed significant innovation in this field, but much work is needed to adapt it to the new dimensions of competition in the agri-food supply chains. Overlooking these new dimensions of the food supply chains, may hamper the understanding of their organisation, and may result in misleading recommendations to regulators and the industry. Consequently, there is an increasing interest in new theories and extended models that are able to encompass the new dimensions of the agri-food system and provide a better insight into the issues of competition and coordination along the supply chain. Scholars are turning to more general notions such as buyer power or bargaining power to characterize interactions along the agri-food supply chain. Contract theory and organization studies are providing useful analysis of business practices and institution arrangements, helping researchers to understand how firms are exerting power along the supply chain. The impact of these new frameworks on the common understanding of antitrust and competition regulation in agricultural markets is an open question, challenging agricultural economists and regulators alike. Much research is needed before a consensus is formed and a new, widely accepted theoretical framework can replace traditional market power approaches. Several weaknesses must be addressed. For example, the vast majority of the abovementioned studies are context specific, or transaction-level analyses. Therefore, the implications for the overall market performance or social welfare are often unclear and it is difficult to infer general conclusions or policy recommendation. Also, empirical analyses require detailed data - about business practices or contract terms - that are often private information, limiting the possibility of extensive applied studies. The seminar is a unique opportunity for a scholarly debate about new research ideas to improve our understanding of competition and coordination along agri-food supply chains. The emerging features of food supply chains call for new, more encompassing frameworks that are able to guide scholars and policy makers in applied research and regulation. The seminar will address this demand for novel research and approaches. Objectives. The goal of the seminar is to present new ideas and contributions on the topic of market and bargaining power and its implication for the food supply chain. The seminar brings together agricultural and applied economists, policy makers and industry representatives to discuss the theoretical, empirical and regulatory implications of the new dimensions in power and bargaining.
