Abstract: | Building on a multiple-product channel structure, this paper develops a model to test channel price leadership on the basis of time series observations on retail and wholesale (hereafter as: r-and-w.) prices and using absence of double marginalization as a criterion for channel price leadership. The model studies strategic pricing decisions in a two-stage (suppliersretailers) channel, dealing with several products. Possible long-run relationships btw. r-and-w. prices are investigated in relation to three cases. Case 1: suppliers have sufficient power vis-à-vis retailers to enforce double marginalisation, Case 2: retailers do not allow suppliers to enforce double marginalisation, and Case 3: one retailer not only keeps its suppliers from double marginalization, but is also the horizontal price leader vis-à-vis competing retailers. |
