Abstract

The primary purpose of this study is to suggest a new methodology for calibration of a continuous price response function and to compare the differences in the price response function with and without choice set information. Through the new methodology, the two-staged conjoint analysis, the continuous price response function far jeans market was calibrated. Three steps were required to complete the two-staged conjoint analysis. Step one provided respondents with both a written and a visual description of two different randomly selected styles and colors of denim jeans. In step two respondents were asked to choose the combination of attributes they intended to purchase. Based upon the literature review, these four attributes included: brand, style, price, and color. Respondents were required to assess their purchase intentions for 32 combinations by marking Yes if she/he would purchase a given combination and No if she/he would not purchase a given combination. This allowed for identification of each respondents choice set. Instructions in step three required respondents to rate each combination marked Yes on a scale of 1-100, with one as least likely to be purchased and 100 as most likely to be purchased. This value served as the dependent variable for estimating the parameters in the model. Furthermore, the empirical study shows that there is a difference in price response function with and without choice set information. Therefore, when one calibrates a price response function far a given brand, we can recommend to include choice set information in his/her research.

가격반응함수는 각 가격대별로 판매량의 변화를 추적한 함수이다. 가격에 판매량을 곱하면 판매량이 되고, 여기에 비용을 차감하면 이익이 된다. 따라서 가격반응함수는 상표나 제품의 이익을 최대로 하는 가격을 찾는 바탕이다 컨조인트분석은 고객시각에서 가격반응함수를 도출하는데 신뢰성 높은 방법으로 적극적으로 권해지고 있으나, 고려상표군을 고려하지 못한다는 단점이 지적되어 왔다 이 연구는 고려상표군을 측정할 수 있는 컨조인트분석의 한 변종으로 2단계 컨조인트분석을 개발하여 미국의 한 도시의 청바지 시장에 적용하였다. 그 결과, 고려상표군 정보를 가진 가격반응함수와 그렇지 않은 가격반응함수 간의 특정가격대별 선택확률과 가격탄력성에 차이가 발생함이 발견되었다. 고려상표군 형성이 소비자의 구매의사결정과정의 한 단계임을 고려할 때, 고려상표군 정보를 가진 가격반응함수로 소비자의 가격반응을 추적하는 것이 필요함이 이 연구를 통해 실증되었다.
