Abstract

This paper considers the simple neoclassical economics of price gaps in the absence of income effects. Our guiding principle is that price gaps reflect a fundamental economic principle: buy low and sell high. It is demonstrated that neoclassical theory makes clear and economically testable predictions about these price gaps.
