Title: | Estimating demand for cellular phone service under nonlinear pricing | Authors: | Huang, Ching I. | Keywords: | Cellular phone service | Optional rate plans | Structural estimation | Termination-based price discrimination | Three-part tariffs | Issue Date: | 1-Aug-2008 | Publisher: | SPRINGER | Journal Volume: | 6 | Journal Issue: | 4 | Start page/Pages: | 371 | Source: | Quantitative Marketing and Economics | Abstract: | Cellular phone carriers typically offer complicated nonlinear tariffs. Consumers make a discrete choice among several rate plans. Each plan has a nonlinear price schedule, and price is usually lower for in-network calls. I present an empirical framework to estimate demand under such nonlinear pricing schemes by using parsimonious carrier-level data and apply the estimation method to analyze the market in Taiwan. I evaluate the impacts of termination-based pricing schemes on the market structure by counterfactual simulations. There is no evidence showing that the network effect resulting from termination-based pricing has significant effects on market structure. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2008. |
