APPLICATION OF GAME THEORY IN DYNAMIC COMPETITIVE PRICING WITH ONE PRICE LEADER AND N DEPENDENT FOLLOWERS
In this research UF cheese pricing is considered and Pegah, Pak, Kaleh, Rouzaneh and Mihan firms’ data, as five main UF cheese competitive firms of Iran in breakfast cheese competitive market, is used. By using these firm’s sales data, production data and price of each ton of UF cheese in nineteen work-periods (each work-period is 6 months), their sales equations are estimated for each work-pe...
متن کاملSpeed of price adjustment with price conjectures
We derive a measure of firm speed of price adjustment that is directly inversely related to market power and compare this to the measure derived by Martin (1993). However, both measures are incorrect when firms have non-zero price conjectural variations and treat competing price levels as exogenous. This is because Taylor series expansions of the demand function implicitly assume that firms inf...
متن کاملSearch, Costly Price Adjustment and the Frequency of Price Changes Theory and Evidence
We establish a new empirical finding that the intensity of search for the best price affects the frequency of nominal price changes. This relationship holds in very different economies and for various proxies for search intensity. We show that it can be derived from a simple model of monopolistically competitive firms that face menu costs of changing nominal prices and heterogeneous consumers w...
متن کاملExplaining Asymmetric Price Adjustment
In an in nite horizon model with stochastic costs, moderate ination, costly price adjustment, and optimal price setting, we demonstrate that individual price reductions will be larger but less frequent than price increases. With positive ination, aggregate prices are more responsive to cost increases than to cost decreases, and a calibrated version of the model ts well the magnitude of downw...
