Abstract: 

The economics of information approach suggests that as online retailing matures, information asymmetry will enforce the reduction of price dispersion online as providers will operate in conditions close to perfect competition. Our study tests if this is the case for a latecomer German grocery sector, whose share of online retailing in total revenues is expected to grow substantially by 2020. While little is known about price levels and dispersion between online and offline grocery markets, our study shows that despite the theoretical predictions price dispersion exists both between online and offline providers as well as across online retailers. The chapter is based on Fedoseeva, S., Herrmann, R. and Nickolaus, K. (2017). Was the Economics of Information Approach Wrong All the Way? Evidence from German Grocery R(E)tailing. Journal of Business Research 80, 63-72
