We examine how knowledge … spreads in different networks in which agents interact by word of mouth. We define a regular network, a randomly generated … network and a small world network structured as graphs consisting of agents (vertices) and connections (edges), situated on a …

In this paper we explore the possibility, heretofore unexplored in the marketing literature, that firms “invest funds” in their pricing processes. This builds on some of the recent economic work on the costs of price adjustment. To do this we undertook a two-year, cross- disciplinary,...
