Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we consider a model of oligopolistic competition where firms make a two-dimensional product line decision. They choose a location in style space, thus inducing horizontal differentiation, and produce different qualities (a product line) of a given good (vertical differentiation), consumed by a population of customers who differ in their income and preference for style. We prove the existence of a non-cooperative equilibrium and show that, as the degree of competition increases, prices approach marginal cost. The approach is used to show that European car producers seem indeed to use product lines to discriminate across EU countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are car prices so different across European countries? I construct and estimate an oligopoly model to analyze whether international price discrimination can explain the puzzle. Three sources of international price discrimination are considered: price elasticities, import quota constraints, and collusion. The data reveal that international price discrimination accounts for an important part of the observed price differences. Low price elasticities (or domestic market power) are present in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and especially Italy. Binding import quota constraints on Japanese cars exist in France and Italy. The possibility of collusion cannot be rejected in Germany and the United Kingdom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation This is Vol 3 of the Handbook of Industrial Organization series (HIO). Vols 1 & 2 published simultaneously in 1989 under the editorship of Richard Schmalensee and Robert Willig. Many of the chapters in these successful volumes were widely cited and appeared on graduate reading lists, and some continue to appear even recently. Since the first volumes published, the field of industrial organization has continued to evolve. As the editors acknowledge in the Preface, these volumes had some gaps and this new volume aims to fill some of those gaps. The aim is to serve as a source, reference and teaching supplement for industrial organization, or industrial economics, the microeconomics field that focuses on business behavior and its implications for both market structures and processes, and for related public policies. The first two volumes of the HIO appeared at roughly the same time as Jean Tirole's book The Theory of Industrial Organization. Together they helped revolutionize the teaching of industrial organization, and provided a state-of-the-art summary. Tirole's book is concerned with the relevant theory, and several reviewers noted that the first two volumes of HIO contained much more discussion of the theoretical literature than of the empirical literature. In most respects, this imbalance was an accurate reflection of the field. Since then, the empirical literature has flourished, while the theoretical literature has continued to grow, and this new volume reflects that change of emphasis. *Part of the renown Handbooks in Economics series *Chapters are contributed by some of the leading experts in their fields. *A source, reference and teaching supplement for industrial organizations, or industrial economicists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Organization: Markets and Strategies provides an up-to-date account of modern industrial organization that blends theory with real-world applications. Written in a clear and accessible style, it acquaints the reader with the most important models for understanding strategies chosen by firms with market power and shows how such firms adapt to different market environments. It covers a wide range of topics including recent developments on product bundling, branding strategies, restrictions in vertical supply relationships, intellectual property protection, and two-sided markets, to name just a few. Models are presented in detail and the main results are summarized as lessons. Formal theory is complemented throughout by real-world cases that show students how it applies to actual organizational settings. The book is accompanied by a website containing a number of additional resources for lecturers and students, including exercises, answers to review questions, case material and slides.

Book Synopsis The Evolution of Price Dispersion in the European Car Market by : Pinelopi Koujianou Goldberg

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Car prices in Europe are characterized by large and persistent differences across countries. The purpose of this paper is to document and explain this price dispersion. Using a panel data set extending from 1980 to 1993, we first demonstrate two main facts concerning car prices in Europe: (1) The existence of significant differences in quality adjusted prices across countries, with Italy and the U.K. systematically representing the most expansive markets; (2) Substantial year-to-year volatility that is to a large extent accounted for by exchange rate fluctuation and the incomplete response of local currency prices to these fluctuations. These facts are analyzed within the framework of a multiproduct oligopoly model with product differentiation. The model identifies three potential sources for the international price differences: price elasticities generating differences in markups, costs, and import quota constraints. Local currency price stability can be attributed either to the presence of a local component in marginal costs, or to markup adjustment that is correlated with exchange rate volatility; the latter requires that the perceived elasticity of demand is increasing in price. We find that the primary reason for the higher prices in Italy is the existence of a strong bias for domestic brands that generates high markups for the domestic firm (Fiat). In the U.K. higher prices are mainly attributed to better equipped cars and/or differences in the dealer discount practices. The import quota constraints are found to have a significant impact on Japanese car prices in Italy, France, and the U.K. With respect to local currency price stability, 2/3 of the documented price inertia are attributed to local costs, and 1/3 to markup adjustment that is indicative of price discrimination. Based on these results, we conjecture that the EMU will substantially reduce the year-to -year volatility observed in the car price data, but without further measures to increase European integration, it will not com
Book Synopsis Market Integration and Convergence to the Law of One Price by : Pinelopi Koujianou Goldberg

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper exploits the unique experiment of European market integration to investigate the relationship between integration and price convergence in international markets. Using a panel data set of car prices we examine how the process of integration has affected cross-country price dispersion in Europe. We find surprisingly strong evidence of convergence towards both the absolute and the relative versions of Purchasing Power Parity. Our analysis illuminates the main sources of segmentation in international markets and suggests the type of institutional changes that can successfully reduce it.

This book was released on 2006-03-13 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 10 von 10 (Schweiz), University of Lugano (Faculty of Communication Sciences and Faculty of Economics), language: English, abstract: Starting situation Today, many markets have reached such a degree of saturation that market potential is often virtually exhausted. Increasingly, growth can be achieved only at the expense of competitors. Increasing internationalization and the market entry by new competitors result in brand and product inflation. Dramatically shorter product life cycles and constantly accelerating product aging are another challenge for companies that they must deal with.2 Hence, in order to make a company’s products stand out from the diverse range available, suppliers are attempting to hone competitive edge through increasing differentiation of their brands, emphasizing how they meet the specific needs and wants of their target customer groups and market segments. The overall goal of this approach is to build up brands that are unique in the market place – brands that promise a unique value. A strong brand can reach high rates of loyalty among existing customers; it can “more easily” gain new customers, due to its characteristic position; and it can therefore charge a premium price. Marketers have several means to work with in order to reach this goal. Generally, the corporate strategy “might specify a premium position or a massmerchandiser/ discount approach. These obviously have direct impact on the pricing”3. Price is only one of the marketing variables, but for the case of premium brands it is important. The pricing position is one determinant for the development of a brand identity, incidentally, not only among customers and potential customers, but also among society, employees, etc.). As part of the company’s target market and positioning objectives (that largely determine the pricing strategy) price reflects the quality of the branded product and likewise the prestige that the user gains through this brand. In this paper it will be shown, which role pricing plays in the brand concept of premium cars and what the case of the cars says about the theory and practice of premium brands.
