Abstract
This paper aimed to analyze the price transmission and marketing margins among the segments of beef production chain (farm, wholesale and retail), looking for evidence of possible exercise of market power. Two Vector Error Correction models were estimated based on Houck’s framework. The results indicate symmetry in price transmission between wholesale and retail and price asymmetry between wholesale and producer. Thus, there is some evidence of the possible exercise of market power only from downstream to upstream (from wholesale to producer). This may be explained by differences in market structure, as retail and wholesale are oligopolies, unlike producers.

期刊介绍:
The journal Economia Aplicada (Brazilian Journal of Applied Economics) is a quarterly publication of the Dept. of Economics of the Faculty of Economics, Business and Accounting of the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto (FEA-RP/USP). It was first published in 1997 by the Dept. of Economics of FEA-USP and by FIPE, with the primary concern of filling an editorial gap in Brazil. The Journal"s interest is to publish solely scientific papers on applied economics. Nowadays it has the same goal. Its focus is to publish papers with economic analysis applied to specific problems of interest either to public or private sector, especially with quantitative results bringing theory and reality closer.
