Consumer Learning, Habit Formation, and Heterogeneity: A Structural Examination
I formulate an econometric model of consumer learning and experimentation about new products in markets for packaged goods that nests alternative sources of dynamics, such as habit formation. The model is estimated on household level scanner data of laundry detergent purchases, and the results suggest that consumers have very similar expectations of their match value with new products before co...
متن کاملConsumer heterogeneity and pricing in a duopoly with switching costs∗
It is well-known that switching costs may facilitate monopoly pricing in a market with price competition between two suppliers of a homogenous good, provided the switching cost is above some critical level. We show that introducing consumer heterogeneity tends to increase the critical switching cost and thereby reduce the stability of the collusive outcome. A testable implication is that widesp...
متن کاملConsumer heterogeneity, incomplete information and pricing in a duopoly with switching costs
It is well known that switching costs may facilitate monopoly pricing in a market with price competition between two suppliers of a homogenous good, provided the switching cost is above some critical level. With heterogeneous consumers and incomplete information about individual consumers’ types, monopoly pricing entails second-degree price discrimination with inefficient contracts for low dema...

متن کاملEstimating the Effects of Brand Switching, Stockpiling and Flexible Consumption with Consumer Heterogeneity -- a Dynamic Structural Approach
It is well known that in package goods categories a temporary price cut of a brand leads to increase in the sales of that brand in the current period. Under the assumption of stable consumption rate, previous literature has identified that the sources for the increase in sales are brand switching, purchase acceleration, and increase in quantity. However, there are very few studies that have for...
