Project Description
We are trying to understand the effect of advertising on prices that firms charge as well as the size distribution of firms. We are using a database from the 1990's from Sioux Falls, South Dakota that has about a thousand households and their purchases. Most of the work is on the computer, the rest is trying to figure out exactly what to do with the data.
