Determinants of price flexibility in oligopolistic markets: evidence from Austrian manufacturing

Article Abstract:

Three characteristics of industrial pricing behavior are studied based on their response to market structure, namely, price sensitivity to changes in cost and demand, speed of price adjustment and asymmetry of price behavior. Industry differences in concentration, capital intensity, inventoriability and length of the production period account for differences in pricing behavior among industries.
