Are "Rockets and Feathers" Caused by Search or Informational Frictions
Bayer, Ralph-C; Ke, Changxia - Max-Planck-Institut für Steuerrecht und öffentliche … - 2011
Prices usually adjust much faster when costs increase than when costs decrease. The mechanism driving this "Rockets-and-Feathers" phenomenon is not well understood despite of ample empirical evidence for its existence. We use simple experimental markets with and without consumer search and...

Sequential Decision Making : How Prior Choices Affect Subsequent Valuations
Ofek, Elie; Yildiz, Muhamet; Haruvy, Ernan - 2003
This paper develops and tests a model of sequential decision making where a first stage of ranking a set of alternatives is followed by a second stage of determining the value of these same alternatives. The model assumes a boundedly rational Bayesian decision maker who is uncertain about...

Rockets and Feathers in the Laboratory
Bayer, Ralph-C; Ke, Changxia - School of Economics, University of Adelaide - 2010
Consumers often complain that retail prices respond faster to increases in wholesale prices than to decreases. Despite many empirical studies confirming this 'Rockets-and-Feathers' phenomenon for different industries, the mechanism driving it is not well understood. In this paper, we show that,...

Variety Aversion and Information Overload: An Experimental Approach
Kaiser, Karen - Banco de México - 2011
This paper analyzes the effect of information overload on preference or aversion for variety. According to the model, a rational decision maker who suffers from information overload, faces a two-stage decision process, and is choosing from a set of unknown goods will find it optimal at some...
