This note investigates the pass-through of global Brent oil notations to fuel prices across the oligopoly of retail majors in Germany. We assemble a high-frequency panel data set that encompasses millions of price observations and allows us to distinguish effects by brand. Upon establishing a cointegrating relationship between fuel and crude-oil prices using daily data, we estimate an error-correction model (ECM) and find that (1) the pass-through of oil prices critically depends on the number of time lags included in the ECM, (2) strict adherence to classical information criteria for determining lag length yields extremely long pass-through durations, and (3) the estimated impulse response functions are virtually identical across brands, irrespective of the lag count, suggesting a high degree of competition among brands.

We explore whether non-competitive pricing prevails in Germany’s retail gasoline market by examining the influence of the crude oil price on the retail gasoline price, focusing specifically on how this influence varies according to the brand and to the degree of competition in the vicinity of the station. Our analysis identifies several factors other than cost – including the absence of nearby competitors and regional market concentration – that play a significant role in mediating the influence of the oil price on the retail gas price, suggesting price setting power among stations.

Stadtische Kurierdienstleistungen werden derzeit vor allem per Pkw und Fahrrad erbracht, wobei die Verkehrsmittelwahl in der Regel von selbststandigen Kurieren getroffen wird. Dieser Beitrag zeigt auf, dass aus okonomischer und okologischer Sicht die Nutzung von Elektro-Lastenradern fur diese Transportaufgaben sinnvoll ware, insbesondere bei Jahresfahrleistungen zwischen 11.000 und 18.000 km. Als weitere Determinanten mussen aber auch die Soziodemographie, berufsbezogene Praktiken sowie individuelle Einstellungen der Kuriere berucksichtigt werden, um die Innovationsbereitschaft gegenuber Elektro-Lastenradern und damit die Erfolgsaussichten dieses Fahrzeugtyps im Wirtschaftsverkehr bewerten zu konnen.
