State Lawmakers Misguidedly Target Grocery Pricing Technologies Instead of Actual Consumer Harms

Summary

The article argues that state lawmakers in New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Tennessee are misguidedly targeting the technologies that enable dynamic grocery pricing (such as discounts on near-expiry items or price adjustments due to supply shocks like avian flu). It contends that these regulations focus on the mechanism of pricing rather than specific practices that actually harm consumers, and that part of the problem is a conceptual misunderstanding of how supply-and-demand pricing works in grocery retail.
