Tiivistelmä: | The author explores the practice of offering subscribers enticements to swicth suppliers. This type of competition is natural in subscription markets for homogeneous goods and services. Efficiency is impaired because subscribers are induced to expend resources changing suppliers. When firms can track swiching behaviour, consumers may change suppliers in order to establish reputations. |
