Proximité et capture de la réglementation. Le cas de la banane martiniquaise
Résumé
Proximity and capturing the regulator - The case of the banana producers in Martinique The European banana market generates regulated advantages. These advantages (called rent) are appropriated by producers by the mean of their influence on the regulator. These strategies of capture result from a collective process. The aim of this paper is to understand how the producers lead this collective action. The analysis relies both on the contributions of the economics of proximity and the economics of regulation. An empirical illustration is provided by the case of the banana producers in Martinique.
