Many supermarkets provide regular shoppers with “loyalty cards." By using the card when checking out, a shopper receives reduced prices on a few goods, and the supermarket compiles information on the shoppers’ purchases. Some supermarkets have switched from giving the same price reductions to all shoppers to giving some shoppers coupons that depend on a shopper's history. A manager at one supermarket that uses this approach said, "It comes down to understanding elasticity at a household level." Why would making the availability of coupons depend on a shopper's buying history involve “understanding elasticity at a household level?" What information from a shopper's buying history would be relevant in predicting the shopper's response to a price discount? 55
