Norbäck, Pehr-Johan; Persson, Lars; Tåg, Joacim - Institutet för Näringslivsforskning (IFN) - 2011

Why do so many high-priced acquisitions of entrepreneurial firms take place in network industries? We develop a theory of commercialization (entry or sale) in network industries showing that high equilibrium acquisition prices are driven by the incumbents' desire to prevent rivals from acquiring...

Competitive quantity discounts

Calzolari, Giacomo; Denicolò, Vincenzo - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2010
