Competitive search with private information : can price signal quality?
Albrecht, James W.; Cai, Xiaoming; Gautier, Pieter; … - 2024
This paper considers competitive search equilibrium in a market for a good whose quality differs across sellers. Each seller knows the quality of the good that he or she is offering for sale, but buyers cannot observe quality directly. We thus have a "market for lemons" with competitive search...

Search frictions, competing mechanisms and optimal market segmentation
Cai, Xiaoming; Gautier, Pieter; Wolthoff, Ronald - 2016
In a market in which sellers compete for heterogeneous buyers by posting mechanisms, we analyze how the properties of the meeting technology affect the allocation of buyers to sellers. We show that a separate submarket for each type of buyer is the efficient outcome if and only if meetings are...

On mergers in consumer search markets
Janssen, Maarten C. W.; Moraga-González, José Luis - 2007
We study mergers in a market where N firms sell a homogeneous good and consumers search sequentially to discover prices. The main motivation for such an analysis is that mergers generally affect market prices and thereby, in a search environment, the search behavior of consumers. Endogenous...
