Abstract
This paper develops the concept of market components and discusses the potential advantages of such a concept for studying different market systems including periodic and permanent markets. The assignment algorithm and the bottleneck assignment algorithm are modified and used to test this concept; the data employed are for periodic market systems in Southern Morocco.Keywords
