Chapter 8 in Fixing Prices, 2023, pp 201-215 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The concluding chapter summarizes the overall findings of the book concerning how prices are fixed and rests upon the interplay of the three dimensions of price setting, price posting and price adjusting. Price fixing is further discussed in relation to three main analytical themes that run throughout the book chapters: price fixing practices, price fixing materialities, and price fixing digitalization, which have implied various affordances and mitigations for the trajectory of price fixing. First, it discusses the relationships between the various micro practices of pricing accounted for in the chapters in relation and wider market changes, power relationships and the mundane governance of price display. Second, it discusses the materiality of prices and its importance for understanding prices and price transformation in practice. Third, it discusses the long-term evolution of digitalization of price display. Finally, it outlines the implications of these developments for studies of markets.
