Hump-Shaped Cross-Price Effects and the Extensive Margin in Cross-Border Shopping

Abstract: This paper examines the effect of cross-border shopping on grocery demand in Norway using monthly store × category sales data from Norway’s largest grocery chain 2012–2016. The sensitivity of demand to the foreign price is hump-shaped and greatest 30–60 minutes’ driving distance from the closest foreign store. Combining continuous demand, fixed costs of cross-border shopping, and linear transport costs a la Hotelling, we show how this hump shape can arise through a combination of intensive and extensive margin… Show more

“…A recent study by Friberg et al (2022) provides a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between changes in product prices in foreign countries, 1 For example, Neiman and Swagel (2009) explicitly sought the optimal level of demand for foreign travel based on the international trade framework and the theoretical derivations. Meanwhile, Morley (1992) and Eugenio-Martin and Campos-Soria (2011) rely on the traditional consumer behavioral framework.…”

“…Noe som ytterligere peker i retning av en slik konklusjon, er det norske hovedstadsområdet naerhet til svenske grensesupermarked. Konsumentene i Oslo og Akershus har i hovedsak mindre enn 90 minutters reisetid til naermeste svenske grensebutikk (Friberg, Steen & Ulsaker, 2019). Svenske dagligvarepriser er, som vist kapittel 4 i denne boken av , vesentlig lavere enn de norske, og grensehandelen fra Norge er stor.…”

“…Noe av forklaringen på forskjellen i butikkstørrelse mellom land, og muligens også for de lavere omsetningsandelen i norske butikker, er nok også at store deler av norske konsumenter bor naer nok Sverige til å kunne handle i svenske grensesupermarked. Mer enn 40 % av norske konsumenter bor innen 90 minutters kjøreavstand til Norge, og innenfor denne gruppen svarer mer enn halvparten at de handler i Sverige (Friberg, Steen & Ulsaker, 2019). Prisnivået er som vist også i kapittel 4 (Pettersen, 2020) i størrelsesorden 30 % lavere i Sverige, noe som gjør at grensehandelen har vokst seg betydelig over tid, og utgjør kanskje så mye som 10 % av norsk dagligvareomsetningen per 2019.…”
