中间产品市场在几个方面是不同的，包括交易规模大，以及使用买方特定价格进行价格歧视的能力。本文研究的是一个存在买方特定价格的竞争性中间品市场。使用来自英国砖行业的交易的丰富数据集-其中运输成本起着重要作用-我们估计一个价格设定模型，其中价格是专门为每笔交易设定的。我们估计了两种规格，一种是卖方向买方提出接受或离开的报价，另一种是买方和卖方之间谈判价格。我们分析了议价能力，位置和交易规模对价格的影响。初步和不完整。欢迎评论。我们感谢赫尔辛基经济研究中心和宾夕法尼亚州立大学的研讨会参与者提出的有益的意见和建议。我们感谢牛津大学约翰·费尔基金会的财政援助。* 伦敦大学伯克贝克学院霍普金斯大学牛津大学经济系。我们非常感谢大卫·埃利奥特、杰克·罗斯、斯蒂芬·托泽和本·范德斯帕等人对我们的研究提供的帮助。
Intermediate product markets are distinct in several ways, including the large size of the transactions, and the ability to price discriminate using buyer-specific prices. We study a competitive intermediate goods market in which there are buyer-specific prices. Using a rich dataset of transactions from the UK brick industry– in which transportation costs play an important role– we estimate a model of price setting in which the price is set specifically for each transaction. We estimate two specifications, one in which the sellers make take-it-orleave-if offers to buyers, and one in which prices are negotiated between the buyer and seller. We analyse the effect of bargaining power, location, and transaction size on prices. Preliminary and Incomplete.
