Multiproduct Search and the Joint Search Effect
蝌蚪网 Review
(pp. 2918–39)
Abstract
This paper presents a sequential search model where consumers look for several products from multiproduct firms. Multiproduct search can significantly influence firms' pricing decisions. For example, it can make market prices decrease with search costs. Possible applications of the model are also discussed.Citation
