Competitive strategy when consumers are affected by reference prices
The article presents a model that analyzes the optimal strategy of multi-product firms when consumers are affected by reference prices. Generally, the stronger the consideration of reference prices is, the more intensified the competition is and the lower are the prices and profits. In some cases it becomes optimal to sell the good for which consideration of reference prices is stronger at a ne...
متن کاملDynamic Suboptimality of Competitive Equilibrium in Multiperiod Overlapping Generations Economies
The question we ask is: within the set of a three-period-lived OLG economies with a stochastic endowment process, a stochastic dividend process, and sequentially incomplete complete markets, under what set of conditions may a set of government transfers dynamically Pareto dominate the laissez faire equilibrium? We start by characterizing perfect risk sharing and find that it implies a strongly ...
متن کاملConstrained Asset Prices
We develop a model of asset pricing in which buyers are either unable or unwilling to buy an asset at a price substantially above its price in recent transactions. This constraint could result from legal restrictions on appraisals, behavioral preferences, or agency problems. The model features price-predictability, differential pricing for identical assets, “buyer’s” and “seller’s” markets, and...
متن کاملMergers When Prices Are Negotiated: Evidence from the Hospital Industry
We estimate a bargaining model of competition between hospitals and managed care organizations (MCOs) and use the estimates to evaluate the effects of hospital mergers. We find that MCO bargaining restrains hospital prices significantly. The model demonstrates the potential impact of coinsurance rates, which allow MCOs to partly steer patients towards cheaper hospitals. We show that increasing ...
متن کاملEngines of Liberation Redux When Home Appliances Prices are Endogenous
We propose a model of the household where the transmission mechanism between home appliances and women’s labor supply is identical to the one in Greenwood, Seshadri, and Yorukoglu (2005) with one important exception. We explicitly model firms’ pricing and output choices in the appliances sector and thus, the price of home appliances is determined endogenously by the laws of supply and demand ra...
