Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the dynamics of market structure and the efficiency of pricing within the Lower Rio Grande Valley Tomato market of 1961. It utilizes a thorough analysis of data from a sample of 12 firms, representing nearly half of the total tomatoes shipped during that year. The author meticulously examines the relationship between the prices received by farmers and the prices paid by buyers, as well as the impact of factors such as the quality and packaging of the tomatoes on the pricing structure. The book also explores the level of competition within the market, analyzing the ease of entry and exit for firms, and compares prices offered by national chains to prices offered by other buyers. The author concludes that, overall, there was no substantial evidence of noncompetitive behavior and that the market performed efficiently throughout the 1961 season, particularly in adjusting prices for different containers and equating returns on any given day from different methods of sale.
