Market power estimates as residuals

Market power estimates, such as markups and markdowns, can act as a residual category for aspects of the real world not captured by economic models.

Brian Albrecht emphasizes that many features ignored in these models end up being attributed to market power, rather than having a precise explanation.

Albrecht has linked profit-taking and corporate greed to recent inflation trends in prior commentary. In a recent article, he claimed profits and greed are responsible for inflation, citing what he described as good authority. The author’s latest comments come as debate continues over how market indicators capture complex economic forces.
