Internalization of airport congestion : a network analysis

Brueckner, Jan K. - 2002

The likely resurgence of air traffic in the U.S. means that airport congestion is a problem that must soon be confronted by policy makers. As part of their policy response, it is probable that some form of congestion pricing will be imposed at selected U.S. airports in the relatively near...

Vertical integration and downstream collusion

Biancini, Sara; Ettinger, David - 2016

We investigate the effect of a vertical merger on downstream firms' ability to collude in a repeated game framework. We show that a vertical merger has two main effects. On the one hand, it increases the total collusive profits, increasing the stakes of collusion. On the other hand, it creates...

Taxation, industry integration and production efficiency

Moriconi, Simone - 2016

Taxes levied on production processes (e.g. VAT), are today a very important source of government revenues in developed economies. Theories of optimal taxation conclude that these taxes are detrimental to production efficiency, when firms operate in perfectly competitive markets. These theories...

Synergistic value in vertically integrated power-to-gas energy systems

Glenk, Gunther; Reichelstein, Stefan - 2019

This paper examines the value that can potentially be created by a vertically integrating energy system. Integration entails operational gains that must be traded off against the requisite cost of capacity investments. In the context of our model, the operational gains are subject to inherent...

Come together : firm boundaries and delegation

Alfaro, Laura; Bloom, Nicholas; Conconi, Paola; … - 2018

Little is known theoretically, and even less empirically, about the relationship between firm boundaries and the allocation of decision rights within firms. We develop a model in which firms choose which suppliers to integrate and whether to delegate decisions to integrated suppliers. We test...

Boddin, Dominik; Stähler, Frank - 2018 - Version of November 19, 2018

This paper discusses how international trade is organized from export to trans-boundary transport to import. All evidence suggests that the transport sector is independent, may exercise market power and features strong economies of scale. We develop a model of a transport industry that operates...

The limits of marketplace fee discrimination

Tremblay, Mark J. - 2021

Platforms often use fee discrimination within their marketplace (e.g., Amazon, eBay, and Uber specify a variety of merchant fees). To better understand the impact of marketplace fee discrimination, we develop a model that allows us to determine equilibrium fee and category decisions that depend...

Vertical control change and platform organization under network externalities

Padilla, Atilano Jorge; Piccolo, Salvatore; Shekhar, Shiva - 2022

In this paper, we examine how the introduction of network externalities impact an open and vertically integrated platform's post-merger contractual relationship with third-party sellers distributing through its marketplace. Regardless of whether the platform uses linear contracts or two-part...

Vertical integration in tradable green certificate markets

Coria, Jessica; Jaraitė, Jūratė - 2024

This study examines how the impact of Tradable Green Certificates (TGC) on profitability and investment behavior varies depending on the vertical integration status of regulated firms. Our theoretical model predicts that vertical integration does not lead to higher profits when internal pricing...
