We investigate a model in which a monopoly supplier distributes two types of its product through a traditional retailer with a wholesale price contract and an online retailer with an agency contract. Because such an agency contract eliminates the double marginalization problem, the online...

We present results from 50-rounds experimental markets in which firms decide repeatedly both on price and quantity of a perishable good. The experiment is designed to study the price-quantity setting behavior of subjects acting as firms in monopolistic competition. In the implemented treatments...

We experimentally study price-quantity competitions in duopoly and triopoly markets and compare the results with the respective mixed strategy equilibria. The equilibrium does not predict experimental outcomes adequately, but we find indications for a reactive strategy in the experiments.
