A Test of the Coase Conjecture Using Prices of Electronic Books

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Coase Conjecture predicts that a durable‐goods monopolist without commitment will rapidly cut price toward marginal cost. We test this prediction in the electronic‐book market using release‐day prices. To proxy for marginal cost, we use competitive prices of public‐domain electronic books on the same platforms.
