Estimating Market Power of Tea Processing Sector

The Effect of Farm Supply Shifts on Concentration and Market Power in the Food Processing Sector

In this paper we examine the marginal impact of changing farm supply on the market structure of the downstream food processing sector. We develop a theoretical model that allows for cost differences among processors and endogenizes downstream entry and exit. Comparative statics results are consistent with several well-established trends in the food processing sector. In particular, the analysis...

Market Structure and Price Adjustment in the Iranian Tea Market

Considering Effect of Energy Market on Reactive Power Market

In this paper, a new structure for reactive power market is presented. Considering reactive power losses caused by active power flow in the reactive power market is the main purpose of this paper. Hence, this study tries to improve reactive power market and create fair competition in reactive power generation.

Enhancers of the energy efficiency in tea processing industry

The cost reduction of green tea processing, the control of fossil fuel resources, and the curbing of corresponding greenhouse gases emission depend on the energy efficiency of tea processing units. Therefore, it is imperative to identify and analyze factors determining energy efficiency of these agro-industrial units. To this end, the present descriptive survey was carried out on 40 managers of...

Estimating the Opportunities for Market Power in a Deregulated Wisconsin Electricity Market

To date, a number of electricity markets have deregulated, relying on market forces to set prices. The results thus far are mixed. Therefore, policy makers must rely on ex ante analyses of the market power potential for generation owners. Recently, policy makers in the Wisconsin and Upper Michigan (WUMS) electricity market have contemplated deregulation. In this paper, we examine the ability of...
