The paper "Price Comparison Websites" by David Ronayne, assistant professor of economics at ESMT Berlin, has been published in the International Economic Review. The paper investigates how price comparison websites (PCWs) work, and whether they benefit consumers as many assume.

PCWs are thought to benefit consumers by increasing competitive pricing pressure on firms while allowing consumers to compare options. However, these websites charge firms for sales which feeds back into raised prices. David’s research shows that PCWs can increase the prices for all consumers, including even those who do not use them.

The paper “Protecting Their Turf: When and Why Supervisors Undermine Employee Boundary Spanning”, co-written by ESMT's professor Eric Quintane, has recently been accepted and will be published in the Journal of Applied Psychology.

While seeking advice outside of one’s supervisor zone of influence can provide benefits in terms of problem-solving, creativity, or more generally institutional knowledge, this article demonstrates that some supervisors may react negatively and engage in undermining behavior. Importantly, the article shows that when employees seek advice from the supervisor him- or herself, it reduced the likelihood of a negative reaction. The researchers discuss how these insights contribute to boundary-spanning literature, territoriality theory, and leadership literature.
