We integrate a market microstructure model with an exchange competition model with entry in which exchanges supply … strategic substitutes or complements in platform competition. Free entry of platforms delivers a superior outcome in terms of …

Bertrand-Nash equilibria in a duopoly. Comparing equilibrium prices to the prices set by a multiproduct monopolist, we show … that competition drives prices up and reduces total surplus. …

This paper examines how product market competition affects firms' timing of adopting a new technology as well as … but also among markets with Cournot and Bertrand competition. More specifically, Cournot competition can lead to earlier … adoption than Bertrand competition. It shows also that competition toughness does not always reinforce adoption incentives …

What factors determine whether it is optimal with one or more technologies in a decarbonized road transport sector, and what policies should governments choose? We investigate these questions theoretically and numerically through a static, partial equilibrium model for the road transport market....

Our novel approach to modeling monopolistic competition with heterogeneous consumers involves a space of … conditions for positive sorting: more efficient firms serve larger market segments and face tougher competition in the …

We describe a model of trade with input based product differentiation and non-proportional trade costs that is capable of predicting a positive correlation between firms' export intensity, the price of their exports, and the wages they pay to their workers. These correlations arise in the model...

A durable good monopolist faces a continuum of heterogeneous customers who make purchase decisions by comparing present and expected price-quality offers. The monopolist designs a sequence of price-quality menus to segment the market. We consider the Markov Perfect Equilibrium (MPE) of a game...

This paper analyzes the generalized quality differentiation model in multi-sided markets with positive externalities, which leads to new insights into the optimal pricing structure of the firm. We find that quality differentiation for users on one side affects not only the side involving...
