The widespread availability of digital technologies has made mandatory price disclosure policies (MPD) a convenient … tool for policymakers to increase price transparency and foster competition. The literature has shown that these can …

price information to consumers depends on how well informed they are beforehand. Theoretically, an increase in consumer … information decreases prices more, the fewer ex ante informed consumers there are. Empirically, we study mandatory price …

We consider an oligopolistic market where firms compete in price and quality and where consumers are heterogeneous in …-inefficiency of the price/quality offers. But, better price/quality combinations are signalled with lower prices in one type and with … knowledge: some consumers know both the prices and quality of the products offered, some know only the prices and some know …

simple model of symmetric oligopoly where firms select a two dimensional strategy set of price and a non-price variable known … as quality simultaneously. In conclusion, our results show that equilibrium solutions of RPM and APM are distinct. We … circumstances RPM induces more competition or less competition w.r.t the price or non-price dimension. …

own-price elasticity of quantity demand for soda of between −1.0 and −1.3. These estimates ignore consumer responses on … the quality margin and correlated measurement errors. We use Mexican household budget survey data and city-level soda … prices to estimate unrestricted demand models that correct for both errors. The corrected own-price elasticity of quantity …

Customer ownership arises when … quality preference falls below the threshold for profitable entry by investors, but above that for entry by customer …-owners.
