摘要

市场集中与价格上涨相关。然而，以往的研究并未考虑在企业从需求高峰期转向需求低谷期的市场中，市场集中度对价格的影响是否会受到季节性因素的影响。本研究分析了市场集中度对酒店业价格的影响以及价格的变化。本文通过享乐主义价格模型，分析了市场集中度对酒店价格的影响，以及质量、与市中心的距离或季节性对酒店价格的影响。市场集中度越高，价格越高。在需求旺季，市场集中度对价格的影响是需求淡季的 1.7 倍。在特定市场中，不同酒店在某一天的价格差异部分是由同一城市中不同酒店的服务质量差异造成的，但市场集中度也是原因之一。我们发现，市场集中度越高，价格变化就越小，这一结果与默契合谋的存在是一致的。

The moderating effect of seasonality in the hotel industry. Does market concentration favour tacit collusion?

Market concentration is associated with higher prices. However, previous research has not considered whether the market concentration effect on prices is moderated by seasonality in markets where firms switch from peak demand to low demand periods. This study analyzes market concentration effect on prices and price variability in the hotel industry. Through hedonic price models, the paper analyzes the influence of market concentration on hotel prices and how quality, distance to the city center or seasonality influence hotel prices. A higher market concentration is associated with higher prices. The effect of market concentration on prices is 1.7 times higher in the peak demand season than in the low demand season. Price variability between hotels for a given day in a particular market is partially explained by differences in service quality among hotels in the same city but also by the level of market concentration. We find that higher market concentration reduces price variability, a result consistent with the existence of tacit collusion.
