Models of distribution channels have defined retailer and manufacturer pricing decision variables in different ways, such as absolute retail price or absolute retail margin and absolute manufacturer price or absolute manufacturer margin. This article examines whether this choice of definition affects the equilibrium outcomes from such models. It shows that the equilibrium outcomes do not change with these definitions if manufacturers are modeled as Stackelberg pricing leaders to their retailer. However, if manufacturers are modeled as Bertrand-Nash competitors to their retailer or as Stackelberg pricing followers to their retailer, the equilibrium outcomes change depending on how the retailer's pricing decision variables are defined. Moreover, if in these two cases manufacturers and retailer are allowed to define their own pricing decision variables, then (1) manufacturers are indifferent about choosing among absolute prices, absolute margins, and percentage margins, but (2) the retailer chooses percentage margins. These results have implications for both theoretical and empirical models of price competition in distribution channels.

Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang penetapan harga eceran tertinggi sebagai intervensi pemerintah untuk mewujudkan hak konstitusional atas kedaulatan pangan dalam perspektif Negara Kesejahteraan. Pangkal argumentasi adalah ketersediaan pangan yang cukup akan menentukan kualitas sumber daya manusia dan stabilitas sosial politik sebagai prasyarat untuk melaksanakan pembangunan. Pangan merupakan variabel penting yang bisa digunakan untuk memperkuat basis material negara, sebagai sarana menjalankan fungsi reproduksi sosial sekaligus penentu keberlangsungan hidup sebuah bangsa. Dengan memperhatikan peraturan perundang-undangan, pemerintah mempunyai pedoman dalam menetapkan kebijakan harga dengan tujuan untuk stabilisasi harga termasuk terhadap komoditas pangan. Pembahasan dilakukan dengan menggunakan penelitian hukum normatif, yang merupakan sebuah penelitian yang mengkaji studi dokumen, yakni menggunakan berbagai data sekunder seperti peraturan perundang-undangan, putusan pengadilan, teori hukum, dan dapat berupa pendapat para sarjana. Hasil eceran tertinggi merupakan perbuatan pemerintah (bestuurhandeling) sebagai salah satu contoh intervensi negara dalam rangka mewujudkan hak konstitusional atas kedaulatan pangan. Kebijakan tersebut bertujuan menstabilkan harga pangan, mengurangi ketidakpastian petani, dan menjamin konsumen. Dalam hal ini, setiap warga negara akan memperoleh pangan yang cukup dengan harga yang wajar.This paper discusses the determination of the highest retail price as a government intervention to realize the constitutional right to food sovereignty in the perspective of the Welfare State. The basis of the argument is that sufficient food availability will determine the quality of human resources and socio-political stability as a prerequisite for carrying out development. Food is an important variable that can be used to strengthen the country's material base, as a means of carrying out the function of social reproduction as well as determining the survival of a nation. By paying attention to the laws and regulations, the government has guidelines in setting price policies with the aim of stabilizing prices including food commodities.The discussion was conducted using normative legal research, which is a study that examines the study of documents, namely using various secondary data such as legislation, court decisions, legal theories, and can be in the form of opinions of scholars.The results of the discussion show that the government's actions in determining the highest retail price are the government's actions (bestuurhandeling) as one example of state intervention in order to realize the constitutional rights to food sovereignty. The policy aims to stabilize food prices, reduce farmers' uncertainty, and guarantee consumers. In this case, every citizen will get enough food at a reasonable price.
