摘要

中国京沪高铁(Launch)和温州动车碰撞(Crash)的引入为研究竞争对价格分散的影响提供了一个独特的机会。结果显示，价格差异在推出后增加了约48%，因为航空公司向价格弹性消费者提供的折扣比价格非弹性消费者提供的折扣更大。相比之下，价格差异在崩盘后下降了约55%，因为航空公司对价格弹性消费者的提价幅度大于对价格无弹性消费者的提价幅度。

Competition and price dispersion: evidence from airline and high-speed rail competition in China

Abstract The introduction of the Beijing–Shanghai high-speed rail (Launch) and the Wenzhou bullet-train collision (Crash) in China provided a unique occasion to study the effect of competition on price dispersion. Results show that price dispersion increased by about 48% after the Launch, as airlines offered greater discounts to price-elastic consumers than to price-inelastic consumers. By contrast, price dispersion decreased by about 55% after the Crash, as airlines raised prices more for price-elastic consumers than for price-inelastic consumers.
