Abstract
We generate some hypotheses that contribute to explaining our empirical findings. We sketch a variety of structural and strategic factors and find that the intensity of retail price-based competition might be a key and under-appreciated factor. Retailers do seem to be increasing their vertical power, but they find it difficult to hold on to any additional resources they obtain from their suppliers because of intense price competition in the retail sector.
