In 2000 the Argentine antitrust
authorities conducted a study of the state of competition in
the gasoline market. The study concludes with a set of
policy recommendations (that is, limits to vertical
integration and to the duration of contracts between oil
companies and gasoline stations) which were subsequently
implemented by the Argentine government. This was one of the
rare occasions where the Argentine antitrust authorities
exercised its advocacy role in a country that underwent an
extensive process of deregulation and privatization.
Serebrisky assesses the design and impact of the policies
recommended by the Argentine antitrust authorities. In
particular, he evaluates under which circumstances the new
policies can reduce barriers to entry and foster competition
in the Argentine gasoline market.
