Summary:We review the current literature on applied policy analysis and empirical structural food industrial organisation research. Within that context, we provide an overview on the state of research and summarise the core problems researchers face when estimating the demand and structural supply models implemented in applied research to date. We focus on important themes, such as providing a better understanding of vertical relationships in food markets, price formation, competition issues, environmental and nutritional policies.
