Abstract

Pricing under inflation proves to affect marketing effectiveness. We analyze the weekly price evolution of yogurt segments offered in supermarkets in Argentina for the period 2015–2020. By taking into account the strong macroeconomic instability of the period, we try to figure out what role marketing variables such as product attributes and promotions have played in pricing. We find that specific attributes such as flavor and texture and time effects significant. As expected, much of the pricing was affected by general and sectorial inflation of the period.
