Market Structure and Price Responses to Seasonal Demand Changes

No 1864, Econometric Society World Congress 2000 Contributed Papers from Econometric Society

Abstract: The demand for gasoline follows a seasonal cycle in Sweden. The paper investigates the response in prices and profits over the cycle. In contrast to what has been found for the gasoline market in the United States I find no support for seasonal price changes compatible with the recently developed theories for cyclical variations of intensity of competition. Some possible explanations for this difference between Sweden and the United States are discussed.
