Market Equilibrium with Transaction Costs
Identical products being sold at different prices in different locations is a common phenomenon. Price differences might occur due to various reasons such as shipping costs, trade restrictions and price discrimination. This is modelled in traditional market models by adding a production that transfers the goods from one location to another. However, this approach is not always satisfactory sinc...
متن کاملSearch costs in electronic markets: market equilibrium and corporation strategy
In this paper, a model is built to analyse the influences of search costs on market equilibrium. According to the results of a simulation, we conclude that the equilibrium prices of e-markets are not always lower than those of conventional markets, especially under certain combinations of return costs and search costs. In addition, some managerial insights are derived from the simulation result...
متن کاملMarket equilibrium with FSS search
It is acknowledged that in the trading of homogeneous goods there is persistent price dispersion. However, it is theoretically derived that if buyers are optimizers there is no price dispersion. This negative result motivates the emergence of alternative paths in the literature that studies price dispersion. In Burdett and Judd’s seminal work, buyers follow the sub-optimal fixed sample size sea...
متن کاملStrategic complementarities and search market equilibrium
In this paper, we apply supermodular game theory to the equilibrium search literature with sequential search. We identify necessary and sufficient conditions for the pricing game to exhibit strategic complementarities and prove existence of equilibrium. We then show that price dispersion is inherently incompatible with strategic complementarities in the sense that the Diamond Paradox obtains wh...
متن کاملConsumer Search Costs and Market Performance
Laboratory markets are conducted to evaluate the effects of consumer search costs on market performance. The primary research goal is to assess the behavioral relevance of Diamond’s (1971) paradoxical conclusion that the injection of a small consumer search cost alters the equilibrium price prediction from competitive to monopoly levels. Although monopoly prices are not consistently observed, w...
