摘要翻译:
我证明了在产品质量和生产成本不同的市场上,企业的价格几乎是竞争性的,消费者可以从价格中推断产品的质量,而了解价格是昂贵的。破产风险或监管将更高的质量与更低的成本联系起来。如果高质量的公司成本较低,那么他们可以通过降价来显示质量。然后,低质量的公司必须降低价格来留住顾客。这种压低价格的竞赛以一种分离的均衡结束,在这种均衡中,低质量的公司收取他们有竞争力的价格,高质量的公司收取略低的价格。

英文摘要:
I show that firms price almost competitively and consumers can infer product quality from prices in markets where firms differ in quality and production cost, and learning prices is costly. Bankruptcy risk or regulation links higher quality to lower cost. If high-quality firms have lower cost, then they can signal quality by cutting prices. Then the low-quality firms must cut prices to retain customers. This price-cutting race to the bottom ends in a separating equilibrium in which the low-quality firms charge their competitive price and the high-quality firms charge slightly less.
