By Ronald W. Cotterill1 When a competitor buys another competitor in a local food market, prices may increase because there is less competition. The antitrust laws are designed to prevent mergers that most likely will result in higher prices. Economists do three things to help legal authorities determine whether a merger should be stopped or limited because it will likely increase sellers power over the market and consumer prices. First, economists measure the impact of a merger on the structure of a market. Then economists estimate the relationship between market structure and prices and use it to predict the impact of the merger on prices. Here we estimate the impact of the Royal Ahold/Pathmark merger on prices for each of the 16 New York and New Jersey counties and for one county in Pennsylvania and one in Delaware. -

This pool was an attempt at centralised marketing of the entire Western Canadian wheat crop. Ostensibly the main reason for this scheme was to secure for the farmer a fair and stable price for his wheat crop. The purpose of this thesis is to trace the chain of events which, through the years, culminated in the government estab- lishing the Canadian Wneat Board and vesting in that agency monopoly power in the marketing of wheat grown in Western Cana- da. -

Age-Friendly Supermarket Guide
Age-friendly guide to Manhattan supermarkets. Gale A. Brewer Manhattan Borough President 1 Dear Manhattanite: The percentage of seniors in New York City is projected to grow to one-fifth of the population by 2030. In an effort to highlight best practices for age-friendly shopping experiences, my office surveyed over 200 supermarkets across the borough to identify each store’s policies and infrastructure as they relate to the needs of older adults. In the following pages, we’ve organized survey results from those hundreds of supermarkets by Community Board District, outlining their wheelchair accessibility, delivery policies, public resstroom availability, escalator or elevator availability (at multi-floor stores), senior discounts, and SNAP/EBT acceptance. I want to thank the businesses who took the time to respond to our survey team of interns and staff. Sincerely, Gale A. Brewer, Manhattan Borough President P.S. For more information on how to better meet the needs of older adults or to share best practices of your own, please contact the New York Academy of Medicine at [email protected] or call (212) 822-7254. 3 Wheelchair aisles?
