Store Sales and Panel Purchase Data: Are They Compatible?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The authors examine the compatibility of price elasticity estimates obtained from store sales and panel purchase data. If the store and panel models are not comparable, comparison of the estimates could be confounded since differences could arise due to data and/or model related effects. To overcome this confound, analytically equivalent models are specified for store and panel data. This ensures that the differences in the estimates can be attributed purely to the use of different types of data. A statistical procedure, which takes into account both estimation and sampling error, is developed to formally test for the differences in the store and panel estimates. The approach is implemented on scanner databases from three categories of packaged goods. A key finding is that on average, data differences result in panel data producing price elasticities estimates that are about 31% higher (more negative) than store data. Formal statistical tests confirm that the purchase behavior of panelists is not representative of the population at store level. Finally, the authors discuss how users of scanner data can use the methodology to benchmark datasets.

The Estimation of Pre- and Postpromotion Dips with Store-Level Scanner Data
One of the mysteries of store-level scanner data modeling is the lack of a dip in sales in the week(s) following a promotion. Researchers expect to find a postpromotion dip because analyses of household scanner panel data indicate that consumers tend to accelerate their purchases in response to a promotion – that is, they buy earlier and/or purchase larger quantities than they would in the abse...
