A Theory of Retail Pricing

Christopher J.E. Bliss ()

Journal of Industrial Economics, 1988, vol. 36, issue 4, pages 375-91

Abstract: After surveying existing models of retailing, this paper concentrates on the idea that the shop saves its customers costs by assembling goods in one p lace. This introduces an essential nonconvexity and importantly affec ts the conditions under which shops compete with each other and the c onstraints on their price setting. Under the admittedly unrealistic a ssumption of full buyer information, a theory of retail pricing is de veloped. Copyright 1988 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
