Abstract:This paper focuses on the delineation of geographic markets in competition analysis, investigating the use of quantitative techniques - as proposed by M. Forni (2004) - in the market definition exercise. Although the product market definition is also included in the earlier part of the discussion, the empirical application focuses on geographic markets. A systematic geographic market definition exercise requires a clear rationale and a conceptual framework. This framework is developed in the next section; a following section elaborates on the quantitative procedures (specifically, tests of price co-movement). Lastly, an empirical demonstration is attempted, based on a recent investigation into alleged abuse of dominance in the South African milk industry at the producer/processor level.
