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. When access is monopolized, we find that generally net neutrality regulation (that imposes zero fees "on the other … side" of the market) increases total industry surplus compared to the fully private optimum at which the monopoly platform …

Predation and Mergers: Is Merger Law Couterproductive?.

Persson, L. - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 1999

This paper studies the interaction between the incentives for predation and mergers. I show that the incentive for predation in an oligopoly is limited by the subsequent competition for the prey. This bidding competition is especially fierce when the prey's assets exert strong negative...

Firm Productivity and Carbon Leakage: A Study of Swedish Manufacturing Firms

Ferguson, Shon; Sanctuary, Mark - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2014

The Multi-Dimensional Nature of Labor Demand and Skill-Biased Technological Change.

Mellander, E. - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 1999

Investigating the robustness of the skill-biased technical change hypothesis, this analysis incorporates two novel features. First, effective labor is modeled as the product of a quantity measure - number of employees with a given level of education - and a quality index, depending on, i.a.,...

Firm Heterogeneity and Country Size Dependent Market Entry Cost

Åkerman, Anders; Forslid, Rikard - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2009

This paper introduces a market size dependent firm entry cost into the Melitz (2003) model. This is a relatively small generalisation, which preserves the analytical solvability of the model. Nevertheless, our model yields several new results that are in line with data. First, the average...
