Abstract

In the modern market economic system, there are many brokers between primary producers and final producers or consumers. For example, many farmers produce vegetables and supply them to consumers. Between the farmers and consumers there are many brokers called retailers. The involved transactions are modeled by network-structured markets. Equilibrium market prices are obtained as the optimal Lagrange multipliers. The present paper analyzes changes in equilibrium prices and quantities within network-structured markets using the Lagrange function method. Then, different network structures and different specification for the sales and cost functions within the network-structured markets are analyzed.
