Abstract
The Editors have judged that the 2021 Best Paper Prize be awarded to: John Kwoka and Pinshuo Wang for their paper ‘Raising Rivals Costs by Customer Diversion: Evidence from Airline Baggage Fees’. The paper encapsulates the scholarly aims of the journal by using microeconomics to address a business issue. In particular, the paper presents novel insight concerning strategic behaviour between firms. New evidence is presented on how pricing strategy is used to divert high-cost customers to rivals, making rivals less competitive, allowing the firm using the price diversion strategy to raise prices. Along with recognition from the Journal, the Best Paper Prize includes a cash award for the authors.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of the Economics of Business presents original, peer reviewed research in economics that is clearly applicable to business or related public policy problems or issues. The term "business" is used in its widest sense to encompass both public and private sector—governmental, private non-profit and cooperative organizations, as well as profit-seeking enterprises. International Journal of the Economics of Business carries papers relating to three main spheres: The organization—to analyse and aid decision making and the internal organization of the business; The industry—to analyse how businesses interact and evolve within and across industries.
