Procrastination and competition failure

Andre, Peter; Heidhues, Paul; Kőszegi, Botond; … - 2026

We develop a model of price competition with procrastinating consumers in which market discipline is supposed to arise from both the initial selection of providers and the possibility of switching providers. As in other theories, consumers may forego large gains by sticking with their initially...

Minimum resale price maintenance in the absence of point-of-sale service, agency or free-rider problems

Baye, Michale R.; Kovenock, Daniel J.; Vries, Casper G. de - 2025

We show that MRPM can increase manufacturer profits and total output even in the absence of traditional justifications based on point-of-sale services, retailer effort, or free-riding. The key insight is that MRPM mitigates channel conflict by altering how retailers balance extracting surplus...

Technology choice and price signaling in markets for label credence goods

Obradovits, Martin; Walzl, Markus - 2025

Consumers increasingly value the environmental and social responsibility of the production processes used by firms, yet these processes often remain unobservable, even after consumption. In this paper, we develop a simple model to examine firmsâ€™ technology choices and subsequent price...

Sharing price announcements

Janssen, Maarten C. W.; Karamychev, Vladimir A. - 2025

We present a simple model where, before competing in prices, firms announce which prices they intend to choose. Deviating from these announcements involves a cost. We show that sharing pricing intentions results in prices being set above their competitive levels. All equilibria result in prices...
