Competition on common value markets with naèive traders: a theoretical and experimental analysis

Chlaß, Nadine; Güth, Werner - 2007

In a two-firm model where each firm sells a high-quality and a low-quality version of a product, customers differ with respect to their brand preferences and their attitudes towards quality. We show that the standard result of quality-independent markups crucially depends on the assumption that...

Salience, competition, and decoy goods

Herweg, Fabian; Müller, Daniel; Weinschenk, Philipp - 2016

We consider a brand manufacturer who can offer, next to its high-quality product, also a decoy good and faces competition by a competitive fringe that produces low quality. We show that the brand manufacturer optimally provides a decoy good to boost the demand for its main product if consumers'...
