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 کاملNonparametric Estimation of Exact Consumers Surplus and Deadweight Loss
We apply nonparametric regression models to estimation of demand curves of the type most often used in applied research. From the demand curve estimators we derive estimates of exact consumers surplus and deadweight loss, that are the most widely used welfare and economic efficiency measures in areas of economics such as public finance. We also develop tests of the symmetry and downward sloping...
متن کاملA Power Curve Tracer At Surplus Prices
Curve tracers draw a graph of current versus voltage of electronic devices. They are usually used to plot the characteristic curves of transistors (see Fig. 1a), but can also display diode curves (see Fig. 1b), and the v-i characteristics of other two and threeterminal devices. A family of curves is drawn, each curve differing from the next by a change in a controlling quantity (or parameter), ...
متن کاملLearning from Market Share when Consumers are Rationally Inattentive
We characterize the evolution of market share when agents freely observe past shares and also engage in costly private learning. We show that popular options may remain unchosen. Even among chosen goods, long run market shares skew toward ex ante popular items. This rationalizes market share policies that encourage experimentation. We show that an outside observer with rich data may be better a...
متن کاملCompetition and Price Variation when Consumers Are Loss Averse
We introduce consumer loss aversion into the Salop (1979) model of price competition with differentiated products. Firms face uncertain costs of production, and after observing their own cost realizations simultaneously set prices. A consumer derives “gain-loss utility” from comparing the purchase price and her satisfaction with the acquired product to her recent expectations regarding the same...
