摘要

摘要在过去的二十年里，意大利食品零售业发生了很大的变化，这也得益于1998年零售监管改革开始的自由化进程。在这项研究中，我们调查了此类改革对食品和饮料消费者价格指数的影响，控制了跨地区政策采用的内生性质，并解决了食品零售结构的变化可能导致这些影响的问题。我们发现，该政策对食品价格产生了缓解作用，这可以通过意大利市场上经营的食品商店数量和组成的变化来解释，而不是通过商店规模和店内服务的变化。我们发现，以不同自由化程度为特征的各区域的政策效果在统计上没有差异。

Food Retail Liberalization, Food Retail Structure and Food Prices: The Italian Case

Abstract In the last two decades the Italian food retail industry has changed considerably also thanks to the liberalization process started with the 1998 retail regulation reform. In this study, we investigate the impact of such reform on the food and beverage consumer price index, controlling for the endogenous nature of the policy adoption across regions, and addressing what changes in food retail structure may have driven those effects. We find that the policy had a mitigating effect on food prices, which can be explained by the change in the number and composition of food stores operating in the Italian market, rather than by the changes in store size and in-store services. We find the policy effects not to be statistically different across regions characterized by different levels of liberalization.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Agricultural & Food Industrial Organization (JAFIO) is a unique forum for empirical and theoretical research in industrial organization with a special focus on agricultural and food industries worldwide. As concentration, industrialization, and globalization continue to reshape horizontal and vertical relationships within the food supply chain, agricultural economists are revising both their views of traditional markets as well as their tools of analysis. At the core of this revision are strategic interactions between principals and agents, strategic interdependence between rival firms, and strategic trade policy between competing nations, all in a setting plagued by incomplete and/or imperfect information structures. Add to that biotechnology, electronic commerce, as well as the shift in focus from raw agricultural commodities to branded products, and the conclusion is that a "new" agricultural economics is needed for an increasingly complex "new" agriculture.
