Seth price dispersio1/9/2024 Conclusions: There is wide range of price variation of injectable antibiotic commonly used in the Bharatpur, Chitwan. The growing number of companies also increased dispersion in the price of drugs. ![]() ![]() The maximum retail price (MRP) of the most expensive brand for Ceftriaxone 500 mg was almost three-fold higher than the MRP of the least expensive brand. Results: We found that the price percentage difference was greatest (204.82%) for Ceftriaxone 500 mg. The effect of rise in number of companies for the same drugs over the prices was also studied subjectively based upon graph. Range in price variation of the study items of different pharmaceutical companies was calculated in terms of price percentage difference and price ratio by selecting the highest and lowest price. Methods: Descriptive observational study of 30 commonly used injectable antibiotics available in medical stores of Bharatpur, Chitwan was done. Thus, objective of this study is to find outrange of price variation of injectable antibiotics commonly used in Bharatpur, Chitwan. Introduction: High dispersion in price of injectable antibiotics makes choice of drugs difficult for the patients and increase economic burden. Therefore, our empirical results are not driven by (non-calculative) trust, dependence balancing, or other relationship-specific governance mechanisms other than incentive alignment. Because such concentration varies across airports within a relationship, we are able to include relationship fixed effects in the regressions. We find robust evidence that slot exchanges are more frequent when supply portfolio concentration is higher, especially when externalities are more important. We test this hypothesis on slot exchanges between major airlines and their regional partners during inclement weather. We show that under these conditions there is greater mutual cooperation between buyers and suppliers when supply portfolio concentration is higher. We adapt a model in which externalities between supplier decisions are internalized when such concentration is higher, and there are complementarities in buyer and supplier cooperation. This paper studies the relationship between supply portfolio concentration, whereby a buyer engages in multiple simultaneous exchanges with a single supplier, and buyer-supplier cooperation. The results of this work contribute toward extending knowledge on the effect of competition on price dispersion and introduce a method of measuring market differentiation. Decisions on allowing or disallowing mergers should consider market heterogeneity, not just concentration. The implication of our findings for policymakers is that the traditional measures of market concentration do not determine the level of competition alone. We include an output attribute index as a control for market heterogeneity and test our method on 73,981 observations of airfare data from 2002 through 2016. ![]() When products in a market are homogenous, increasing competition reduces price dispersion, while in a market with heterogeneous products, the same increase in competition increases price dispersion. We find that the response of price dispersion to changes in competition is conditioned by differentiation. To explain this contradiction in findings we include a measure not typically considered in competitive analysis, the level of market heterogeneity. Previous studies agree that competition influences price dispersion, however there is disagreement on the direction of the effect.
