| Tiivistelmä: | This paper provides a theoretical explanation for why firms behave as though they use round price to signal quality. By replacing the linear demand curve in Bagwell and Riordan's (1991) price as a signal of quality model with a kinked demand curve, and analyzing what price endings firms are most likely to use, the following observations can be made: 1) Firms, that are using high prices to signal quality are more likely to set those prices at round numbers, and 2) price-endings themselves are not necessarily signals of quality. |
