We study the effects of a government ban of a layer of financing intermediaries in edible oil supply chain in Bangladesh during 2011\u20132012. Contrary to the predictions of a standard model of an oligopolistic supply chain, the ban caused downstream wholesale and retail prices to rise, and pass-through of the changes in imported crude oil price to fall. These results can be explained by an extension of the standard model to incorporate trade credit frictions, where intermediaries expand credit access of downstream traders.","geographic_units":[{"name":"Bangladesh","code":"BGD","type":"cty"}],"topics":[{"id":"L13","vocabulary":"JEL Classifications","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php","name":"Oligopoly and Other Imperfect Markets"},{"id":"L14","vocabulary":"JEL Classifications","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php","name":"Transactional Relationships \u2022 Contracts and Reputation \u2022 Networks"},{"id":"L66","vocabulary":"JEL Classifications","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php","name":"Food \u2022 Beverages \u2022 Cosmetics \u2022 Tobacco \u2022 Wine and Spirits"},{"id":"O13","vocabulary":"JEL Classifications","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php","name":"Agriculture \u2022 Natural Resources \u2022 Energy \u2022 Environment \u2022 Other Primary Products"},{"id":"Q11","vocabulary":"JEL Classifications","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php","name":"Aggregate Supply and Demand Analysis \u2022 Prices"},{"id":"Q13","vocabulary":"JEL Classifications","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php","name":"Agricultural Markets and Marketing \u2022 Cooperatives \u2022 Agribusiness"},{"id":"Q17","vocabulary":"JEL Classifications","uri":"https:\/\/www.aeaweb.org\/econlit\/jelCodes.php","name":"Agriculture in International Trade"}],"language":[{"name":"English","code":"EN"}],"data_statement":"All data is public and contained in the (external) reproducibility package.
