摘要
The article shows that a price regulation can have consequences on a monopolist’s advertisement expenditure. Due to the fact that a price regulation limits the free choice of both instruments price and advertisement, the enterprise is forced to use the two parameters in a suboptimal ratio. A simple model shows that a price decrease by price regulation diminishes ceteris paribus the advertising volume. Hence, it can make sense from a welfare-point of view to regulate prices less intensively in order to obtain the market-extending effect of advertisement. © 2008, List-Gesellschaft e.V.
