Description of the research topic:
Deceptive pricing practices are ubiquitous in the economy in general, and in finance in particular. Examples include pressure selling tactics, hiding additional fees by drip pricing, and using very complicated contracts that make the comparison of offers hard. For
instance, credit card contracts are notoriously complex. Competition authorities and consumer protection agencies around the world seem to be increasingly concerned by these practices. Game theory and industrial economics offer a toolbox that is very well adapted to studying such regulatory issues.
