Using a large US scanner data set on supermarket products and applying flexible regression methods, we find that on average prices decline as items age. This life cycle price change is often attributed to quality difference in the construction of CPI as items are replaced due to disappearance or during sample rotations. This introduces a systematic bias in the measurement of inflation. For our data we find that the life cycle bias leads to the underestimation of inflation by around 0.30 percentage points each year for the products examined.

  • An Examination of Factors That Affect Pricing Decisions for Export Markets
    An Examination of Factors that Affect Pricing Decisions for Export Markets Etienne Musonera, College of Business, Eastern New Mexico University, USA Uzziel Ndagijimana, National University of Rwanda, Butare, Rwanda ABSTRACT Pricing strategy has played an important role in consumer purchasing behavior and decision making process (Richard, 1985; Myers, 1997). For international markets, pricing is one of the most important elements of marketing product mix, generates cash and determines a company’s survival (Yaprak, 2001). However, scholars have not paid enough attention to international and export pricing (Kotabe and Aulak, 1993); Graham and Gronhaug, 1987). This paper examines factors that affect pricing decision for export markets, and sheds light on international pricing strategies in a global competitive market. INTRODUCTION Marketing theory states clearly that price is one of the 5 P’s (Product, Positioning, Place, Promotion and Price) that contributes to the marketing mix in order to get potential customers’ attention, motivate them, and get them to buy products or services. The marketing strategy helps you define, promote and distribute your product, and maintain a relationship with your customers. Pricing, as part of the marketing mix, is essential and has been always one of the most difficult decisions in marketing because of heightened competition (Myers 1997), gray market activities (Assmus and Wiese, 1995), counter-trade requirements (Cavusgil and Sikora ,1988), regional trading blocks (Weekly, 1992), emergency of intra-market segments (Dana 1998), and volatile exchange rates (Knetter, 1994). Consumers have different perception of the products depending on the price. Therefore, pricing products for consumers is a difficult task, mainly because a high price may cause negative feelings about products, and also a low price can be misleading on other products features such as quality.

  • Price Is an Important Marketing Mix Tool for Both Creating and Capturing Customer Value
    1 Price is an important marketing mix tool for both creating and capturing customer value. You explored the three main pricing strategies—customer value-based, cost- based, and competition-based pricing—and the many internal and external factors that affect a firm’s pricing decisions. In this chapter, we’ll look at some additional pricing considerations: new-product pricing, product mix pricing, price adjustments, and initiating and reacting to prices changes. We close the chapter with a discussion of public policy and pricing. this 2 Pricing strategies usually change as the product passes through its life cycle. The introductory stage is especially challenging. Companies bringing out a new product face the challenge of setting prices for the first time. They can choose between two broad strategies: market-skimming pricing and market-penetration pricing. Market-Skimming Pricing Many companies that invent new products set high initial prices to skim revenues layer by layer from the market. Apple frequently uses this strategy, called market- skimming pricing (or price skimming). When Apple first introduced the iPhone, its initial price was as much as $599 per phone. The phones were purchased only by customers who really wanted the sleek new gadget and could afford to pay a high price for it. Six months later, Apple dropped the price to $399 for an 8GB model and $499 for the 16GB model to attract new buyers. Within a year, it dropped prices again to $199 and $299, respectively, and you can now buy a basic 8GB model for $49. In this way, Apple has skimmed the maximum amount of revenue from the various segments of the market.

  • Business Strategy and Pricing
    RELEVANT TO ACCA QUALIFICATION PAPER P3 Studying Paper P3? Performance objectives 7, 8 and 9 are relevant to this exam BUSINESS STRATEGY AND PRICING The revised Paper P3 Study Guide now includes an additional learning objective, E3e: ‘Describe a process for establishing a pricing strategy that recognises both economic and non-economic factors’. This is an extension to the learning objective E3d which refers to the effect of e-marketing on the traditional marketing mix of product, promotion, price, place, people, processes and physical evidence. It is, of course, appropriate for accountants to specialise in the determination of price as this can relate closely to other accounting measures such as costs, revenues and profits. Additionally, altering the price of a product will usually allow much faster changes to organisational performance than developing products or designing and running promotional campaigns. This article looks first at the influences on prices and then at specific approaches. The influences on prices The influences on prices can be summarised by the following diagram: • Mission and marketing objectives • Pricing objectives Costs Competition Customers Controls • Marginal • Type of market • Consumers • Statute • Total absorption • Price competition • Intermediaries • Regulation • Opportunity • Non-price competition • Perceived value of the goods • Contract • Other marketing mix • Nature of the goods variables Although there might appear to be a natural or normal order in which to deal with these influences, if must be emphasised that, as in all of strategic planning, the process is likely to be iterative. One might have a marketing objective in mind but then find that it will be impossible to achieve it because of cost or competition issues, so the objective has to be revisited.

  • Understanding the Price Drivers of Successful Apps in the Mobile App Market
    Int. J. Electronic Marketing and Retailing, Vol. 7, No. 2, 2016 159 Understanding the price drivers of successful apps in the mobile app market Paolo Roma* DICGIM – Management and Economics Research Group, Università degli Studi di Palermo, Viale delle Scienze, 90128, Palermo, Italy Email: [email protected] *Corresponding author Gandolfo Dominici SEAS – Polytechnic School, Università degli Studi di Palermo, Viale delle Scienze, 90128, Palermo, Italy Email: [email protected] Abstract: In this paper, we take the perspective of app developers. Specifically, based on a sample of top paid apps from three major app stores, i.e., App Store, Google Play, and Blackberry World, we construct a hedonic price model to examine the role of relevant factors in price formation in the app market. Our results suggest a strong evidence of two-sided market effects. In fact, the lower price charged for apps operating as two-sided markets reflect the strategy of subsidising users, due to the positive cross-side externalities they exert on valuable third parties. Surprisingly, the effects of trialability, in-app purchase and mechanisms to build reputation are not significant in the context of successful apps. Finally, we find weak evidence that developers of top paid apps prefer price skimming to penetration price strategies. Keywords: mobile app market; online distribution; pricing; two-sided market.
