The Value of Product Attributes, Brands and Private Labels: An Analysis of Frozen Seafood in Germany
研究了德国海鲜市场中产品属性、品牌和自有品牌对价格的影响，发现自有品牌产品折价20%，而品牌产品和养殖鱼类产品有显著溢价。
Abstract It is well known that the price of a food in general and fish in particular is a function of a number of attributes such as species, product form, processing form and size. However, limited attention has been given to the influence of private labels, production method, eco‐labels and promotions. We use a unique dataset which identifies these attributes in the German seafood market. We estimate a hedonic price function, and our results highlight the importance of brand and labels for seafood prices in Germany. Our results also suggest that private label products are discounted by 20%, while branded products achieve substantial price premiums, as do fish products from aquaculture.
