View help for Summary
Many important issues in business-to-business markets involve price
discrimination and negotiated prices, situations where theoretical
predictions are ambiguous. This paper uses new panel data on buyer-supplier transfers and a structural model to empirically analyze
bargaining and price discrimination in a medical device market.
While many phenomena that restrict different prices to different
buyers are suggested as ways to decrease hospital costs (e.g.,
mergers, group purchasing organizations, and transparency), I find
that: (i) more uniform pricing works against hospitals by softening
competition; and (ii) results depend ultimately on a previously
unexplored bargaining effect. (JEL C78, L13, L14, L64)
