Price Competition on Graphs

Heijnen, Pim; Soetevent, Adriaan - Tinbergen Instituut - 2014

This paper extends Hotelling's model of price competition with quadratic transportation costs from a line to graphs. We derive an algorithm to calculate firm-level demand for any given graph, conditional on prices and firm locations. These graph models of price competition may lead to spatial...

Berg, Ward A. van den; Smit, Han T.J. - Tinbergen Instituut - 2007

This paper explains why consolidation acquisitions occur in waves and it predicts the differing role each firm is likely to play in the consolidation game. We propose that whether a firm assumes the role of rival consolidator, target, or passive observer depends on the position of the firm...

Quantifying the Scope for Efficiency Defense in Merger Control: The Werden-Froeb-Index

Goppelsroeder, Marie; Schinkel, Maarten Pieter; … - Tinbergen Instituut - 2006

This paper introduces the Werden-Froeb Index (WFI) to assist in evaluating merger-specific efficiencies in horizontal mergers. The index measures the weighted average reduction in marginal costs required to restore pre-merger equilibrium prices and quantities after the (full or partial) merger...
