Pricing parameters and strategies.

Notes: Mean value per dealer: (A) Initial price in price range. (B) Days until a price changes, excluding the last period when a car stops being on offer. (C) Relative price change. (D) Three main pricing strategies observed. Figure (D) shows the price percentile adjustment, that is, to what extent the price changes relative to maximum and minimum prices in the group of matching cars. The price percentile adjustment is used for illustrative purposes because it maps onto the same scale as the initial price. However, a change in price percentile does not necessarily reflect a change in the price of a car; it can also be due to changes in the minimum and maximum price. Supplementary Table A2 in the Appendix shows the values of price percentile change and the relative price change γ.
