Buyer and seller behavior in fish markets organized as Dutch auctions: Evidence from a wholesale fish market in Southern Europe

Interactive Governance for Small-Scale Fisheries

“…Most interviewees were unsatisfi ed with the current auction model, accusing a few retailers of manipulating and signifi cantly lowering auction prices. Fluvia et al ( 2012 ) point to the fact that the Dutch auction system may not be the most appropriate mechanism for fi shers to extract a high revenue from their catch. Only around half of the octopus caught in Portugal is ultimately sold in the Portuguese market.…”

Estimating technical efficiency of Chinese table grape wholesalers

“…Lee et al (2002) analyzed the improvement of pricing efficiency in wholesale fish markets by applying the framework of the price decision support system, while Ren and An (2010) analyzed the food safety control function of the wholesale agrifood market in China. Third, some researchers have sought to analyze the behaviors of, and outcomes for, participants in wholesale agrifood markets, for example, behavior change (Giulioni and Bucciarelli, 2011;Gallegati et al, 2011), price dispersion (Fluvià et al, 2012), price discrimination (Graddy and Hall, 2009), price formation (Kirman et al, 2002;Guillotreau and Jiménez-Toribio, 2006;Vignes and Etienne, 2011;Guillotreau and Jiménez-Toribio, 2011;Gobillon et al, 2013), price dynamics (Giulioni and Bucciarelli, 2008) and price discovery (Ahmadi-Esfahani and Locke, 1998). In the fourth group, the issue of evaluating the performance of wholesale agrifood market has been reported (Zhu, 2006;Kim and Yoon, 2009;Zhang et al, 2009).…”

Information on sellers and buyers characteristics: added value to explain price formation at primary fish markets in managed French scallop fisheries

“…A consequence of the existence of eight markets is that explanatory variables of price are not the same for all models. Helstad et al, 2005;Fluvià et al, 2012 Quantities Daily supply (volume) local daily supply local daily supply Barten and Bettendorf, 1989;Härdle and Kirman, 1995;McConnell and Strand, 2000*;Carroll et al, 2001*;Kristofersson and Rickertsen, 2007*;Gallegati et al, 2011;Fluvià et al, 2012;Dey et al, 2014;Guillen and Maynou, 2014* national daily supply national daily supply Local daily individual production seller production (vol) volume produce daily seller production (%) proportion of the daily production Local daily individual purchase buyer purchase (vol) volume bought daily buyer purchase (%) proportion of the daily production purchases…”

“…Helstad et al (2005) have chosen an approach that closely scrutinises the links between selling methods (auction or direct sales) and price. Others have focused on how the relationships between buyers and sellers have impacted prices (Kirman and Vriend, 2000;Gallegati et al, 2011; Vignes and Etienne, 2011; Cirillo et al, 2012;Fluvià et al, 2012) but this type of effect has never been included in hedonic models.…”
