Sumario:This study aims to assess the degree of market power in the distribution sector gasolineC, in Brazilian regions, from 2002 to 2008. To this end, based on the Theory of the NewEmpirical Industrial Organization (NOIE), specifically, the model proposed by Bresnahan(1982) and Lau (1982). A dynamic version of the model was also estimated. The resultsindicated that, except for the northern region to the static model, the distributors ofgasoline C does not act as price takers. At the other extreme, the hypothesis of perfectcollusion between them was rejected. It was found that, in many regions, parametersproved to be sufficiently low, suggesting that the distributors have high competitionwith each other.
