| dc.description.abstract | Publishers produce books in hardcover and paperback versions with different prices and time of market introduction. Analysis of detailed book-level data reveals that (i) price-cost differentials cannot be explained by cost differences, making this an example of quality discrimination | en |
| dc.description.abstract | (ii) market introduction time strongly affects sales, suggesting that time is the crucial dimension of discrimination | en |
| dc.description.abstract | and (iii) there is substantial price rigidity across books and over time: prices depend on cost shifters but not on demand shifters. I discuss an explanation for this last finding in terms of the nature of demand in this market. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. | en |
