Anti- versus Pro-Competitive Mergers
Fridolfsson, Sven-Olof - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2007
In a framework where mergers are mutually excluding, I show that firms pursue anti- rather than (alternative) pro-competitive mergers. Potential outsiders to anti-competitive mergers refrain from pursuing pro-competitive mergers if the positive externalities from anti-competitive mergers are...

Open Versus Closed Platforms
Tåg, Joacim - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2008

Mergers by Partial Acquisition

Acquisiton Strategies: Empirical Evidence of Outsider-Toeholds
Lindqvist, Tobias - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2005
Theoretically, cross ownership may mitigate mergers, i.e. market concentrations. Holding a share in a competing firm before the acquisition of another firm, outsider-toehold, is more profitable in some market constellations, due to the positive externality on the outsider (competing) firm when a...

Network Neutrality on the Internet: A Two-sided Market Analysis
Economides, Nicholas; Tåg, Joacim - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2008
We discuss the benefits of net neutrality regulation in the context of a two-sided market model in which platforms sell Internet access services to consumers and may set fees to content and applications providers "on the other side" of the Internet. When access is monopolized, we find that...

Network Neutrality and Network Management Regulation: Quality of Service, Price Discrimination, and Exclusive Contracts
Economides, Nicholas; Tåg, Joacim - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2011
We compare four approaches to network neutrality and network management regulation in a two-sided market model: (i) no variations in Quality of Service and no price discrimination; (ii) variations in Quality of Service but no price discrimination; (iii) variations in Quality of Service and price...
