Experimental evidence on advertising and price competition

Note that the incentive to advertise is greater the less prior information consumers have about product differences; that is, equilibrium advertising levels will be higher the more substitutable products are perceived to be ex ante.

2 The result that the incentive to advertise rises as the elasticity of demand for the advertised good falls is often attributed to Dorfman and Steiner (1954).

However, in both models the incentive to advertise disappears if it is known that products do not differ (see also Kihlstrom and Riordan 1984 and Bagwell and Ramey 1993).
