Estimating the Market Power of Traders in the Arabica Coffee Value Chain in Lam Dong, Vietnam

Although some studies have assessed the market power of advanced degrees in Vietnam's agricultural sector, this research only focuses on analyzing the level of market concentration through CR4 or HHI indexes. The stochastic cost frontier can estimate market power using the Lerner ratio when inp...
