This paper sets out to analyse early modern practices of advertising beyond traditional modernization narratives. Combining a case-study, the marketing of fire engines in the 18th-century Lower Rhine region, with theoretical considerations, it argues that studying practices of advertising can contribute to historicizing the,economic‘ in a broader perspective. The paper examines the interplay between different forms of advertising, e.g. printed advertisements, public demonstrations, and recommendation letters. It identifies various strategies used to display expertise and diversify the groups of potential customers. These strategies are mapped against the particular profile of the engine-makers who moved between the border-crossing milieu of artisan-inventors and the patronage of regional administrative elites. Finally, the paper traces the different ways engine-makers competed with each other in the regional „Intelligenzblatt“ as opposed to in the marketplace, thereby linking the historicization of advertising to current debates in market sociology.

The Illegal American Cocaine Commodity Chain, 1970-2000. This paper provides a historical analysis of the development of the illegal cocaine commodity chain in the Americas. Its geographical focus lies on the Andean region as the prime production area for coca and cocaine between 1970 and 2000. A brief history of cocaine in the Americas serves as an introduction to situate the illegal cocaine commodity chain within the broader historical context of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Thereafter, I explore how political, social and economic circumstances at the global, national and regional level have influenced the geographic and quantitative development of coca and cocaine production in the Andean region. Thirdly, I examine the impact of illegality on the characteristics of the cocaine commodity chain in terms of value added, forms of organization and the constant process of adaption along the commodity chain in reaction to repressive anti-drug policies. Finally, the main nodes along the chain (such as the cocaine production process), the division of labour along the chain and the role of the USA as the largest consumer market for cocaine are discussed.

The European Commission (EC) wants to issue guidelines on Art. 102 TFEU. The Communication on Enforcement Priorities from 2009 is still characterized by the more economic approach. The decisions since then show that this approach could not be implemented in individual cases. How can the EC address the shortcomings of the more economic approach and of the Communication with new guidelines? The EC has a role to play in developing a new legal test, as it gives little weight to consumer welfare in its decisions. To avoid the costs of extensive effects analyses, the guidelines should include truly efficient rules. New rules must take into account the constant changes in economics and economic activity.

Due to more and more stringent environmental regulations, the automotive industry is increasingly turning to the production of electric cars. The rate of their introduction onto the market will be influenced by the opinion of potential buyers. In our research, consumers' views on electric cars in Slovenia, which influence the purchase probability of their buyers' decisions, were investigated. A quantitative research method and an online survey were used. The analysis of the obtained results established the understanding of electric cars among potential consumers and what expectations they have of them, assessed the importance of various features of such cars and determined which ones are more or less important to consumers when buying something. The paper studied how long consumers plan to make a purchase and determined their views on the overall environmental impact of electric cars compared to conventional fossil fuel cars.

By focusing on consumer classifications, this article argues that surveillance can only be adequately understood by including the history of its methods in the analysis. It demonstrates that these methods - through their own logic and history - formed the basis and set the tone for observing consumer-citizens. In Britain, the history of consumer classifications is closely related to the national Census, with class having served as the primary discriminating factor for most of the twentieth century. However, from 1979 to 1981, classifications underwent a key shift away from class towards neighborhood, which also had a long history in British social research. This (renewed) spatial turn took place when changes in information technology coincided with neoliberal politics, leading to private company-based research and the focus on small units instead of society as a whole.

In this article we use laboratory experiments to investigate (i) consumer acceptance of genetically modified (GM) foods in Germany, (ii) the effect of neutral information on consumer acceptance, and (iii) the existence and the extent of a hypothetical bias. Participants in our sample generally preferred non-GM over GM products and discounted GM food products by around 50%. We do not find a significant impact of neutral information on consumer valuation of GM food products. We show the existence of a hypothetical bias finding a significant upward bias in the valuations elicited in a hypothetical scenario. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on recent developments in competition theory, we analyze key aspects of buyer power. The main perspective that we take is one where buyer power is treated as bilateral bargaining power. This represents a key difference from the more standard approach that views buyer power through the lenses of the monopsony model. We also discuss different ways to measure buyer power and analyze in detail its impact on the competitive process and consumers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
