Metodología  Se revisa la literatura académica relacionada con el tema y se analiza la evidencia estadística sobre el comportamiento de los precios antes y después de la aprobación de la ley.  Resultados  La evidencia es compatible con la teoría del compromiso, que plantea que el productor aguas arriba (editores) mantiene su poder monopólico en el mercado aguas abajo (venta final) a través de una ley que obliga al mantenimiento de precios de reventa.  Conclusiones  Se concluye que la ley cambió la dinámica de fijación de precios aumentando la inflación en libros, por encima de lo que hubiera ocurrido en ausencia de su aprobación.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract  Background  This paper studies the behavior of book prices resulting from the approval of the Law for Promotion of Reading and the Book. The law became official in July 2008.  Methodology  We surveyed the literature related with the topic and analyzed the statistical evidence before and after the law came into effect.  Results  The evidence is consistent with the commitment theory. The regime of resale price maintenance imposed by law allowed the upstream monopolist (editor) to extend its monopoly power to the downstream market.  Conclusions  We conclude that the law changed the price fixation process in the sale of books by increasing the inflation on books at a higher rate in comparison with the inflation that would have been observed in the absence of the law.]]></p></abstract>
