Abstract

The authors defi ne the basic determinants of the market power of the buyer in terms of economic theory and economic policy. Based on a review of domestic and foreign literature, the factors contributing to the strengthening of the market power of the buyer are described; the results of the infl uence of the dominant buyer on the redistribution of surpluses and the emergence of social welfare costs are considered; the main directions of economic policy to control the market power of the buyer are determined.
