We study the effect of regional expenditure and revenue shocks on price differentials for 47 US states and 9 EU countries. We identify shocks using sign restrictions on the dynamics of deficits and output and construct two estimates for structural price differentials dynamics which optimally...

Feeder calf prices are determined by the interaction of many factors. This study uses transactions data from Iowa preconditioned and regular feeder calf auction sales to investigate the impact of a wide variety of factors, many of which have not been used in previous studies on feeder calf...

The purpose of this theoretical note is to develop a model of third-degree price discrimination in which the quantities sold in each market are interdependent. We demonstrate in our mathematical model that in this situation the price differential may be explained not only in terms of price...

This paper is concerned with the determinants of car prices in four European countries: Belgium, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, over the period 1970-1985. The main focus of the study lies in explaining the levels of, and the changes in, the large price differentials observed across the...

One of the key advances of the internet age is the increase in transparency. Does high price transparency imply that consumers in different countries pay the same price for similar goods? We compare prices for new, tradable goods sold via the internet auction site eBay. We find ample evidence...

Empirical studies on pharmaceuticals pricing across countries have found evidence that prices vary according to per capita income. These studies are typically based on survey data from a subset of countries and cover only one year. In this paper, we study the international trade and price of...
