| Abstract: | This article explores the relationship between vertical integration and wholesale gasoline prices. The authors use discrete and differential changes in the extent of vertical integration generated by mergers in West Coast gasoline refining and retailing markets to test for incentives to raise rival's costs. Evidence is found that vertical integration can have a significant impact on wholesale prices. |
