Econometric models of asymmetric price transmission (2007, unknown): “As illustrated, among others, by Brown and Yucel (2000) for the US gasoline market, many consumers complain for the existence of price asymmetries, which they interpret as evidence of monopolistic behavior in the markets for oil and petroleum products.”
Oil price volatility and the asymmetric response of gasoline prices to oil price increases and decreases (2005, background): “Different search rules of consumers influence the elasticity of a retailer’s demand and this leads to the asymmetric response of gasoline prices.1 However, Brown and Yucel (2000) conclude that market power is not responsible for the asymmetry.”
Asymmetric Error Correction Models for the Oil-Gasoline Price Relationship (2005, unknown): “Brown and Yucel (2000) examine the market conditions underlying the asymmetric relationship between gasoline and crude oil prices.”
Retail Gasoline Price Dynamics and Local Market Power (2008, unknown): “6 See also Brown and Yucel [2000] for an interesting discussion of the literature and the issues involved.”
Asymmetric Price Transmission: A Survey (2004, background): “Related to this, Balke et al. (1998) and Brown & Yücel (2000) consider oligopolistic firms that engage in unspoken collusion to maintain higher profits.”
