- Research Summary
-
Professor Israeli utilizes econometric methods and field experiments to study pricing and channel management in omni-channel and e-commerce markets. She has examined how the prevalence of the online channel affects the interactions between manufacturers and the retailers who are their downstream channel partners. Her findings indicate that a manufacturer is able to improve retailers’ compliance with pricing policies by creating policies that address the challenges of the online retail environment and credibly signal to the retailers that the manufacturer is monitoring their behavior and is prepared to enforce the policies.
Professor Israeli has also studied how the online channel affects the interactions between sellers and consumers in a large-scale field experiment in which callers requested price quotes from automotive repair shops. A key finding is that sellers alter their quotes depending on how informed individual consumers appear to be about market prices. This work demonstrates the benefit to consumers of conducting simple online research in order to appear savvy. The benefits are greater for women, for whom having the correct information alleviates price discrimination in repair shops.
