This study constructs a sequential consumer search model with differentiated products in which some consumers search for a single product while the others search for multiple products. When the mass of consumers who demand one of the products decreases, the price for one product decreases while...

While search experiments are available in several designs, accumulating ex- perimental evidence suggests that individual search behavior depends on design details. This paper reports the first classification and comparison of several search experiment designs widely accepted in search studies....

This paper is the online appendix for "Multiproduct Firms, Consumer Search, and Demand Heterogeneity". In this online appendix, we discuss a uniqueness and an existence of symmetric equilibria. First, we show that the system of the first-order-conditions has a unique solution. Then, we show that...

We investigate the overall impact of stock-out on individual consumers' information search behavior through both search-theoretic and experimental approaches. As the probability of stock-out increases, search intensity decreases, while the expected number of searches may increase. Such increases...

This study constructs a consumer search model in which some consumers search for multiple products, whereas others search for a single product. A price difference arises because of a difference in the price elasticity for each group. We show that a positive demand shock to one of the products...
