报告内容:
In order to ensure safe meat supply and protect consumers’ health, the government of China made a law in 1997 which started to enforce centralized slaughtering of hogs in licensed slaughtering houses. We use a structural model and the industrial level data to test the hypothesis that whether the “centralized slaughtering policy” created market power. The results detect sizable and significant market power (5%) for the slaughtering industry in the pork supply chain, mainly due to high barriers of entry and stringent license regulation which reduces competition in the market. The welfare loss from market power should be taken into account for such a policy making.
