"'This excellent book is a major contribution to our understanding of the nature, behaviour and degree of competition amongst food retailers in both empirical and theoretical terms. . . for those teaching food industry economics, the book's clarity of approach and provision of large volumes of data will make it an invaluable reference text for students.' -- C.W. Morgan, Journal of Agricultural Economics 'This book presents a timely and interesting overview of retail power in the European food market. By approaching the subject primarily from an economist's perspective, the material adds value to that already available from marketing and management academics. It also illustrates, quite clearly, the problems of comparability of data, and the definitions and measurements of retail power, which make retailing such a complex (and interesting) sector to study.' -- Steven Burt, International Journal of Retail and Distribution Management 'Buyer Power and Competition in European Food Retailing without doubt makes a valuable contribution to the academic literature on European retailing.' -- John Dawson, Journal of Contemporary European Studies 'The authors are to be congratulated on tackling a difficult and extremely important topic in such an authoritative way. The empirical evidence they present and analyse on concentration amongst large retailers in the European food industry is likely to remain a prime source of reference for subsequent researchers for a very long time. In addition, the framework they develop to analyse ""competitive"" issues in the sector will, probably, find its way into future antitrust investigations.' -- Michael Utton, University of Reading, UK"
