  • 2310 Accesses

Abstract

In this paper an analysis is conducted in order to identify empirical regularities of non-buying behaviour and it is found that switching from a no-purchase to a certain brand is proportional to the market share of this brand. Switching from a brand to the no-purchase option is observed to be different. A model is proposed to describe switching behaviour between brands including a no-purchase state from market shares only.
