Capacity constraints, price discrimination, inefficient competition and subcontracting
Hunold, Matthias; Muthers, Johannes - 2017
We characterize mixed-strategy equilibria in a setting with capacity constrained suppliers which can charge location based prices to different customers. The equilibrium prices weakly increase in the transport distance between supplier and customer, whereas the margins decrease. Despite prices...

Spatial competition and price discrimination with capacity constraints
Hunold, Matthias; Muthers, Johannes - 2019
We characterize mixed-strategy equilibria when capacity constrained suppliers can charge location-based prices to different customers. We establish an equilibrium with prices that weakly increase in the costs of supplying a customer. Despite prices above costs and excess capacities, each...

Competition, collusion and spatial sales patterns : theory and evidence
Hunold, Matthias; Hüschelrath, Kai; Laitenberger, Ulrich; … - 2018
This article studies competition in markets with transport costs and capacity constraints. We compare the outcomes of price competition and coordination in a theoretical model and find that when firms compete, they more often serve more distant customers who are closer to the competitor's plant....

The heterogeneous effects of entry on prices
Fischer, Kai; Martin, Simon; Schmidt-Dengler, Philipp - 2023
We study the effect of entry on the price distribution in the German retail gasoline market. Exploiting more than 700 … entries over five years in an event study design, we find that entry causes a persistent first-order stochastic shift in the … to 12% of stations’ gross margins. Consumers with easy access to information on prices gain the most from entry. The …

Vertical bargaining and retail competition : what drives countervailing power?
Gaudin, Germain - 2017
This paper investigates the effects of changes in retail market concentration when input prices are negotiated. Results are derived from a model of bilateral Nash-bargaining between upstream and downstream firms which allows for general forms of demand and retail competition. Whether...

Competition and corporate control in partial ownership acquisitions
Stühmeier, Torben - 2016
Competition authorities have a growing interest in assessing the effects of partial ownership arrangements. We show that the effects of such agreements on competition and welfare depend on the intensity of competition in the market and on the firms' governance structure. When assessing the...
