サーチ市場における委託の分析  Referrals in Search Markets |
| 概要： （Abstract） |
The paper compares the equilibrium outcomes in search markets with and without referrals. In a model of a spatially differentiated product and sequential consumer search, we show that valuable referrals can arise as a part of equilibrium. A firm gives referrals to consumers whose ideal product is sufficiently far from the firm's offering. The effect of referrals on the equilibrium prices is examined, and it is found that prices are higher in markets with referrals. Although consumers can be made worse-off by the existence of referrals, referrals lead to a Pareto improvement for sufficiently high search costs. |
