Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
Traders are often blamed for high prices,
prompting government regulation. We study the effects of a
government ban of a layer of financing intermediaries in Bangladesh's edible
oil supply chain during 2011-12. Contrary to the predictions of a standard
model of an oligopolistic supply chain, the ban caused downstream wholesale and retail prices to
rise, and pass-through of imported crude oil price changes to fall. These results can be
explained by an extension of the standard model to
incorporate trade credit frictions, where intermediaries expand credit access of downstream traders.
