Abstract

The relationship between market structure and firms’ pricing behaviour has been a major and controversial issue in industrial economics. The question of how firms’ pricing behaviour differs across market structures is the focus of the administered-price thesis. In this paper the authors review theories providing rationales for the administered-price thesis and their empirical underpinnings, and methodological controversies concerning price series of differnt industries.
