Who Searches for Low Prices? Population Characteristics and Price Dispersion in the Market for Prescription Drugs [PDF]
We examine the relationship between population characteristics and price dispersion for 75 prescription drugs in five markets. Based on models of price dispersion, we consider that search costs are likely lower for the elderly, who are repeat purchasers.

Spatial Heterogeneity and the Wage Curve Revisited [PDF]
Most ‘wage curve’ studies treat local labour markets as independent ‘islands’ in the national economy. However, when a local labour market is in close proximity of other labour markets, a local shock that increases unemployment may not lead to lower pay ...

The Learning Curve and Durable-Goods Production [PDF]
We investigate the effect of a learning curve on the production of durable goods by examining a durable-goods monopolist in a two-period model. If the monopolist faces a learning curve, the model shows that the equilibrium quantity of the first- (second-)

Extracting dispersion curve and filtering of acoustic data with wavelet transform
, 2012 International audienceDispersion curves of acoustic data carry important information about the acoustic state of the rock. By dispersion curves, we refer to the group and phase slowness (reciprocal of velocity) as a function of frequency.

Scale curve – a robust and nonparametric approach to study a dispersion and interdependence of multivariate distributions [PDF]
A scale curve is a nonparametric approach to study a dispersion of a random vector around a multivariate median. The scale curve is a volume functional based on probabilities allocated on the so-called central regions induced by a given statistical depth

An Empirical Study of Price Dispersion in Homogenous Goods Markets [PDF]
This paper presents the results of an empirical study of price dispersion in homogeneous goods markets. Modern economic theory suggests that inevitable asymmetries of information in markets lead to an equilibrium in which price dispersion is present even
