Which brands gain share from which brands? Inference from store-level scanner dat

Market share models for weekly store-level data are useful to understand competitive structures by delivering own and cross price elasticities. These models can however not be used to examine which brands lose share to which brands during a specific period of time. It is for this purpose that we propose a new model, which does allow for such an examination. We illustrate the model for two product categories in two markets, and we provide share-switching estimates. We also demonstrate how our model can be used to decompose own and cross price elasticities.
