| Abstract: | This paper reviews the evidence and evaluates the claim that the hairdressing industry systematically discriminates on the basis of gender and compares the way in which courts in the UK and US have dealt with such allegations. The authors argue that 'transaction costs' can be used to provide an alternative (perhaps more satisfactory) explanation for the pricing patterns observed than does price discrimination. |
