Barometric price leadership
Article Abstract:
Barometric price leadership can be attained through costly information acquisition in which asymmetric information becomes the key factor in setting price standards. Barometric price leadership, as differentiated from dominant firm leadership and collusive leadership, relies on the acquisition of asymmetric information, as opposed to asymmetric information which is relied upon by the latter two. The barometric price leadership model assumes that the firms acquiring costly information become the price leaders, while the firms which do not purchase information becomes a follower.
