    Abstract: Using a unique dataset of daily U.S. and U.K. price listings and the associated number of clicks for precisely defined goods from a major shopping platform, this paper explores how prices are set in online markets, which have a number of special properties such as low search costs, low costs of monitoring competitors' prices, and low costs of nominal price adjustment. High-quality data are not only useful to estimate price rigidity and other properties of price adjustment in online commerce but also allow comparing the behavior of those properties with estimates available from brick-and-mortar stores.

  5. By: Daniel Garcia; Jun Honda; Maarten Janssen
    Abstract: We study vertical relations in markets with consumer and retailer search. Retailers search to learn manufacturers' prices. We obtain three important new results. First, we explain why empirical distributions of retail prices are bi- modal, with a regular price and a sales price. Second, under competitive condi- tions (many retailers or small consumer search cost) social welfare is signicantly smaller than in the double marginalization outcome. Manufacturers' regular price is significantly above the monopoly price squeezing retailers' markups and pro- viding an alternative explanation for incomplete cost pass-through. Finally, by randomizing to induce active consumer search, manufacturers can increase their profits.

    Abstract: Positioned within the context of online complaint-handling, the present study aimed to examine the potentially mediating role of perceived professionalism in the relationships between message content (grammaticality) and form (politeness) on the one hand and customer loyalty on the other. A path analysis revealed that: (1) grammaticality impacts upon loyalty indirectly through the message recipients’ perceptions of the credibility and competence of the sender; (2) politeness impacts upon loyalty directly as well as indirectly through the message recipients’ perceptions of the credibility and competence of the sender, and (3) both perceptions of credibility and perceptions of competence strongly (positively) impact upon customer loyalty. These findings suggest that in an on-line, text-based complaint-handling context, the perceived professionalism of firm representatives plays a key explanatory role in the relationship between message form and content on the one hand and consumers’ repurchase intentions on the other. Implications for practitioners are discussed and recommendations formulated to better handle complaints enhance odds of repurchase intentions.
