Competitive Pricing of Information: A Longitudinal Experiment
Peter S. Fader, Bruce G. S. Hardie (2007). Competitive Pricing of Information: A Longitudinal Experiment. Journal of Marketing Research. https://doi.org/10.1509/jmkr.44.1.42
Plain-English take
Price response evolved over time and depended on competitive context; static elasticity assumptions missed important dynamic behavior.
How much weight to give this
3/5 Empirical evidence with some design limits
The 1–5 evidence-check score is a practical reading aid, not a formal peer review or a probability that a conclusion is true. It combines design strength (2 points), sample reporting (1), comparison/control clarity (1), and how much of the paper could be checked (1). Access affects how confidently this directory can assess a study, not the study's underlying quality. Blinding is reported separately because it is not relevant to every design.

Double-blind? Blinding was not established from the publisher page; this is not evidence that blinding was or was not used.
Research question
What the authors investigated
Competitive Pricing of Information: A Longitudinal Experiment?
Design

Scope and transfer
Limitations to keep in view
The information-product setting and experimental price range constrain generalization to physical goods or substantially different subscription services. The accessible publisher page was used for this listing; correction history was not independently checked.
Possible founder application
Use as a bounded example of competitive pricing of information: a longitudinal experiment; compare its context and design with your own market before applying its result.
Evidence access
Publisher article page; full-text availability varies and was not established in this review.
Crossref and AMA DOI metadata identify a peer-reviewed Journal of Marketing Research longitudinal experiment on information pricing. Publisher page was directly retrieved; detailed full-text methods were not independently verified.
If only an abstract or metadata was available, the profile is limited to claims supported there. A paper's paywall does not change its evidentiary status, but it limits what we can substantiate from accessible text.
