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

This paper investigates producer-consumer price volatility in four meat markets in Greece: beef, lamb, pork and poultry. The methodology followed in this paper to measure price volatility is that of the diagonal VEC (DVEC) model of Bollerslev et al. (1988) while that of decomposing the estimated...

The present paper provides a literature review of studies examining the potential causes and consequences of recent surges in food and agricultural commodity prices. Furthermore, this paper uses the structural trend methodology proposed by Koopman et al. (2009) to analyze movements in the IMF...

This study examines technical efficiency and productivity growth of Greek livestock farms participating in the 1994 European Union Farm Credit Program (1994-EU-FCP), i.e. regulation 2328/91. The farm-level economic data set used in this paper consists of two different groups of livestock farms,...
