摘要: We propose consumption inertia as a new explanation for asymmetric price transmission. Inertia in consumer demand enlarges retailers’ gains gross profits from raising prices response to higher wholesale and reduces decreasing lower prices. Thus, can cause asymmetries transmission whereby retailers are more willing change their prices, them quickly, increases opposed decreases.
