Abstract

We analyze the weekly evolution of prices of the yogurt segment offered in supermarket for the period 2015-2020 in Argentina. Taking into account the strong macroeconomic instability of the period, we try to give answers to what role marketing variables such as product attributes and promotions have played in pricing. We found that few attributes were relevant, leaving much of the pricing dependent on general and sectorial inflation of the period.
