Exports and market power of the soybean processing industry in Brazil between 1980 and 2010

Abstract: The objective of this research was to identify whether the majors of the soybean production chain in Brazil have conditions to design their market power and capture part of the economic surplus farmers? In this context, based on the analysis of price elasticity, drawn from the postulates of neoclassical microeconomic theory, it was found that exports of soybeans and soybean meal are inelastic to price. Therefore, companies are able to exercise their market power, mainly because they are protected by barriers t… Show more

“…As far as we are concerned, there have not yet been any studies investigating the level of market power across different economic sectors in Brazil. However, we find that a higher level of market power is evident in the Brazilian cement industry (Salvo, 2010) and the soybean processing industry (Costa & Cordeiro de Santana, 2015). T A B L E 7 OLS regression results for the Lerner Index.…”

“…Esses agentes, além de viabilizar a comercialização da castanha, geram as informações sobre as condições das safras, armazenamento e qualidade do produto. Com base na teoria da firma, a quantidade ofertada de castanha-do-brasil tende a variar diretamente aos preços e inversamente aos custos de extração, representado pelo salário pago aos trabalhadores rurais (Santana et al, 2011;Costa & Santana, 2015). A oferta de castanha, conforme Santana & Khan (1992), tende a variar em sentido contrário ao comportamento dos preços do látex, por serem produtos de atividades concorrentes pelos fatores de produção na região amazônica, por viabilizar a implantação de outras atividades concorrentes da castanheira em relação aos fatores terra e mão de obra.…”

“…Todavia, ao serem incorporadas no modelo na forma reduzida, essas variáveis terão seus efeitos captados nos parâmetros do modelo estrutural. Por definição, conforme Santana et al (2011), Costa & Santana (2015 e Santana (2015), as variáveis instrumentais apresentam correlação forte com as variáveis exógenas e são ortogonais ao termo de erro.…”
