This paper analyzes the beef supply chain in Brazil with the purpose of identifying the existence of market power \udbetween farmers and slaughterhouses. The study is divided in two parts. First, we characterize the beef sector in \udBrazil, and conclude that the industry structure is close to a oligopsony. Following the tradition of the New \udEmpirical Industrial Organization (NEIO), we then proceed to apply an econometric test to detect market power. \udThis new method tries to overcome the usual limitations in which the results obtained are sensitive to assumptions \udabout production technology. Using profit maximization conditions for slaughterhouses, and a time series of \udmonthly data over a period of 14 years from the state of Sao Paulo, we found evidence of weak to moderate market \udpower in the relationship between slaughterhouses and producers. Robustness checks through alternative models \udonly confirmed these results. Also, we did not find evidence that market power has increased any in recent years, \udduring which the industry concentration ratio has increased substantially
