Show Abstract The Australian magazine publishing industry is an extremely rivalrous oligopoly, with publishers competing through the constant introduction of new titles, give-aways, editorial content, paper quality, and the use of color, although price competition in the form of direct cutting of cover prices is rare. Magazine cover prices are well-known internationally for their "stickiness", but subscription sales frequently offer readers a substantial saving over the cover price. This paper investigates the influences of several supply and demand factors on subscription rates, and concludes that there appear to be several systematic influences on subscription savings, including issue frequency, cover price, circulation and size of the publisher. Journal Information The Review of Industrial Organization examines all aspects of the field and presents papers that advance significant theories of industrial organization and policy. A major focus of the journal is competition and monopoly in their many forms and their affects on efficiency, innovation, and social conditions. The Review has also increased its focus on public policies such as antitrust, regulation, deregulation, public enterprise, and privatization. Publisher Information Springer is one of the leading international scientific publishing companies, publishing over 1,200 journals and more than 3,000 new books annually, covering a wide range of subjects including biomedicine and the life sciences, clinical medicine, physics, engineering, mathematics, computer sciences, and economics.
