Do cost-based pricing biases persist in laboratory markets?

چکیده
Past accounting experiments have demonstrated signi®cant eects of absorption vs variable costing systems on pricing decisions, but in individual settings that suppressed market features. The main ®nding of the current study is that a cost-based pricing bias did not persist in laboratory product markets. Given the opportunity to learn from pro®t and market feedback, sellers revised their price oers toward optimum in a manner that compensated for absorption vs variable cost signals. The eects of demand conditions, as revealed through actual trades, dominated the eects of alternative costing systems. # 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
