Featured Publication: A study found the negative effect of the competition on price dispersion

In the paper entitled: “Does competition reduce price dispersion? New evidence from the airline industry”, Gerardi and Shapiro, financial economists from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and the Bureau of Economic Analysis, respectively, investigated how competition affects the dispersion and discrimination of airline prices. Price dispersion is an economics term that refers to the fluctuation of prices across markets and sellers of identical items.
