A contribution to the theory of price regulations and commodity bundling with an application to the case of China
Article Abstract:
Analysis of commodity bundling activities reveals that vendors use this as a strategy mainly as a response to heterogeneous tastes of buyers and as a response to price ceilings. The study demonstrates that consumer behavior that distorted prices in China may be a direct consequence of price ceilings. The study also reveals that the phenomenon may also have forced sellers to bundle commodities and that it is not limited to commodities but may also extend to services.
