  text: We investigate the degree of price competition among telecommunication firms.
    Underlying a Bertrand model of price competition, we empirically model pricing
    behaviour in an oligopoly. We analyse panel data of individual pricing information
    of mobile phone contracts offered between 2011 and 2017. We provide empirical
    evidence that price differences as well as reputational effects serve as a signal
    to buyers and significantly affect market demand. Additionally, we find that brands
    lead to an increase in demand and thus are able to generate spillover effects
    even after price increase.
