This study utilizes a brand-level dataset that captures a uniq experiment, a 100% increase in the excise tax, to evaluate d pricing models in the U.S. beer industry. To assess the plaus different models, the increase in marginal cost resulting fro increase is exploited: observed prices in the post-increase p compared to the prices that should be observed under variou models. Three types of models are analyzed: Bertrand-Nash, l and collusion. Results indicate that extreme cases of collusi confidently ruled out while several models may explain th prices equally well.
