This paper measures the degree of market power of the Greek manufacturing industry over the period 1983-2007 at two-digit SIC level. Based on Bresnahan's (1989) conjectural variation model, three different specifications are used to investigate competitive conditions of the Greek manufacturing...

This paper investigates the market structure of the Greek food and beverages manufacturing industry over the period 1984–2007 at the three-digit SIC level. Based on the Hall-Roeger approach (1995), three models are used to investigate the competitive conditions in the industry. The first model...

This paper extends the Hall-Roeger methodology in order to investigate the market structure and to measure the degree of market power in the Greek manufacturing sector over the period 1984-2007 as a whole and by subsector at the two-digit SIC level. The present paper also estimates the net and...

This paper measures the degree of market power of the Greek food and beverages manufacturing industry over the period 1983–2007 at the three-digit SIC level. The present study also estimates the “deadweight” loss and the reduction of consumers’ income due to the possible existence of...

In this paper, a two-step procedure is applied in order to investigate technical efficiency and its determinants in the Greek food and beverages manufacturing industry for the period 1984-2007. Technical efficiency scores for the industry are estimated using the DEA approach. Moreover,...
