This article reports the findings of an empirical investigation into the movement of competitive market share. Palda's cumulative advertising model is adapted to include a price variable, and the analysis is extended to a multibrand market. The statistical methodology employed in the investigation overtly recognizes the competitive interdependence of the brands studied and exploits this interdependence in its estimation procedures.
