Dynamic Price Competition with Switching Costs
We develop a continuous-time dynamic model of competition with switching costs to show that in a relatively simple Markov Perfect equilibrium, the dominant rm concedes market share by charging higher prices than the smaller rm. In the short-run, switching costs might have two types of anti-competitive e¤ects: rst, higher switching costs imply a slower transition to a symmetric market structu...
متن کاملProduct and Price Competition with Satiation Effects
C become satiated with a product when purchasing too much too quickly. How much is too much and how quickly is too quickly depends on the characteristics of the product relative to the time interval between consumption periods. Knowing that, consumers allocate their budget to products that generate less satiation effects. Retailers should then choose to sell products that induce minimal satiati...
متن کاملMenu Costs and Asymmetric Price Adjustment
We study optimal price setting by a monopolist in an in nite horizon model with stochastic costs, moderate ination, and costly price adjustment. For realistic parameters, chosen to replicate observed frequencies of price changes, the model ts numerically several empirical regularities. In particular, price reductions are larger but less frequent than price increases, and prices respond consid...
متن کاملCosts and price competition in California
Critics of health care reform proposals that incorporate managed competition contend that it has never been broadly implemented. However, insurance plans that combine insurance with the provision of care have been widely implemented and have been tested most extensively in California. This DataWatch explores California’s experience with health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and preferred prov...
متن کاملMulti-Product Price and Assortment Competition
We address a generic price competition model in an industry with an arbitrary number of competitors, each offering all or a subset of a given line of N products. The products are substitutes in the sense that the demand volume of each product weakly increases whenever the price of another product increases. The cost structure is linear, with arbitrary cost rates. Our demand model is the unique ...
