It analyzes the effect of large-scale supermarkets on small retailers’ sales in Montevideo (Uruguay). Findings show that the entry of one supermarket in a small store’s neighborhood increases its chance of going out of business in that year by 1.2% on average. The percentage of people working in the retail sector however, is not affected by supermarket entry. Multinational entry and consolidation in the retail industry in the 1990’s caused small retailers in Uruguay to lobby against unrestricted entry in the sector.Text1 digital file (21 p.)enSOUTH AMERICACOMPETITION POLICYSUPERMARKETSURUGUAYRETAIL TRADEEMPLOYMENTLABOUR PRODUCTIVITYIDRC-Related Report
