摘要
This paper tests for switching market conduct in an oligopsonistic industry. The model adopts Bresnahan's procedure for identifying the oligopoly solution and integrates the procedure with a switching regression model. Applied to the US beef slaughter industry, two distinct regimes of conduct in the industry were identified. The two regimes are consistent with the time periods during which the industry has undergone major structural change.
