The Asymmetric Effect of Endowments on Vertical Intra-Industrial Trade

Moro, Ana I.; Milgram, Juliette - Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) - 2008

This paper investigates the determinants of Spanish vertical intra-industrytrade with a large sample of countries. We empirically test the comparative advantageexplanation. For this aim, we build physical, human and technologicalcapital stocks. On average, when using OLS techniques, differences...

PRODUCT QUALITY AND DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS

Monerris, José J. Sempere; Colonques, Rafael Moner; … - Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) - 2000

We introduce strategic behaviour in assigning a certain distribution channel to a product of a particular quality. We propose a variety of models to analyze and study some of the determinants of the choice of distribution channels. Taking the Gabszewicz and Thisse's (1979) model as a benchmark,...

Endogenous quality choice under upstream market power

Sánchez, Borja Mesa - Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) - 2010

downstream firms are locked in a bilateral monopoly with their own input suppliers. The main result is that the degree of product … suppliers merge to monopoly, the quality choice is not affected by the upstream market power and differentiation always emerges …. When the downstream segment is shaped by a monopoly, goods become homogeneous unless input suppliers have weak bargaining …

STRATEGIC EFFECTS OF AIRLINE ALLIANCES

Colonques, Rafael Moner; Fillol, Ricardo Flores - Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) - 2006

This paper looks at the endogenous formation of airline alliances bymeans of a two-stage game where first airlines decide whether to form analliance and then fares are determined. We analyze the profitability and thestrategic effects of airline alliances when two complementary...

The differentiation triangle

Canoy, Marcel; Peitz, Martin - Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) - 1997

The paper formalizes the observation that submarkets for high-quality and low-quality variants are markedly different from each other. We study a simple model where variants of low quality cannot be horizontally differentiated, whereas customers disagree about the value of variants in the...

Marketing cooperation for differentiated products

Peitz, Martin - Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) - 1996

In a three-stage duopoly game with product design at stage 1, advertising & marketing at stage 2, and price competition at stage 3, advertising & marketing enable customers to distinguish the goods from each other thus relaxing price competition. The subgame perfect equilibria of the three stage...

Differentiated bertrand duopoly with variable demand

Peitz, Martin - Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) - 1996

Two one-product firms compete in prices on a market with differentiated products. Goods are differentiated because customers switch from one good to the other at different relative prices. With the specification that mean demand in the market is unit-elastic 1 pro vide conditions on the shape of...

- EQUILIBRIUM UNIQUENESS IN OLIGOPOLY GAMES WITH STRATEGIC COMPLEMENTS

Peitz, Martin - Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) - 1999

I show the uniqueness of equilibrium for a class of oligopoly models with strategic complements.Product differentiation models are considered in which the contraction mapping theorem cannotnecessarily be applied.

Optimal Two-Part Tariff Licensing Contracts with Differentiated Goods and Endogenous R&D

Faulí-Oller, Ramón; Sandonís, Joel - Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Económicas (IVIE) - 2008

In this paper we get the optimal two-part tariff contract for the licensing of a cost reducing innovation to a differentiated goods industry of a general size. We analyze the cases where the patentee is an independent laboratory or an incumbent firm. We show that, regardless of the number of...
