| Tiivistelmä: | Recent empirical studies suggest that prices in highly concentrated industries tend to be rigid and that pricing is often asymmetric with price rises occurring more frequently than price reductions (DOMBERGER Ä1987Å). Existing explanations of price rigidity and asymmetric pricing assume that firms incur "menu costs" when they adjust their prices. There is, however, little empirical evidence to substantiate this assumption. This paper provides an alternative explanation for the price rigidity. |
