This paper examines how the choice of three broad categories of automobiles in Malaysia (i.e. Proton, Perodua, and
foreign automobiles) is affected by a change in the price of a specific car model. Using a sample of 478 automobile
owners in Malaysia, a discrete choice analysis is conducted based on the conditional logit model. In general, it is
found that the own-price effect on Proton (Perodua) cars is negatively related to a specific Proton (Perodua) model;
in contrast, the cross-price effect on Proton (Perodua) cars is positively related to a specific Perodua (Proton) model.
Of the nine models evaluated, three of them show a significant overlapping market segment. This finding implies that
Proton and Perodua should differentiate these products further to lessen competition between them. |
