Learned a lot about dairy through Etienne Guigue (KU Leuven): paper on markups+downs. For another paper on total margins (up+down), check out Nadine Hahn's work www.nadinehahn.com
I've recently given a talk titled "Industrial Organization and The Rise of Market Power" twice, at the UZH Market Power Workshop and at the Association of Competition Economists (ACE) conference yesterday. Here is a thread that covers the main themes. (Link to the deck below) 1/N
