We propose a new instrument for estimating the price elasticity of gasoline demand that exploits systematic differences … response to an aggregate oil price shock. Time-varying estimates do not support the view that the gasoline demand elasticity … rose to about -0.2 in 2015-16, but has remained stable since 2016. Gasoline demand is more responsive in states with lower …

Sophisticated collusive compensation schemes such as assigning future market shares or direct transfers are frequently observed in detected cartels. We show formally why these schemes are useful for dampening deviation incentives when colluding firms are temporary asymmetric. The relative...

This suggests that shifts in demand play an important role in … successful entry, but that firms do not use dynamic manipulation of markups as an instrument to shift demand. We structurally … advertising to acquire new customers and thereby shift demand and increase sales. In the second, they use temporarily low markups …
