| Abstract: | We analyze the behavior of start-ups in e-commerce, namely on Austria's
leading price-comparison-site, a multi-product environment with almost
complete information. We use weekly panel data on price-quotes of
digicams, Audio/HiFi-equipment and hardware. We furthermore use advanced
estimation methods, which, having only recently been introduced to IO,
aim at using a minimum of modeling assumptions. Thus, being able to
trace the behavior of roughly 350 start-up companies and 600 incumbents,
we investigate whether start-ups have a different composition of
product-portfolios, charge lower prices and offer fewer goods. |
