Estimating demand with multi-homing in two-sided markets

Affeldt, Pauline Luise; Argentesi, Elena; Filistrucchi, Lapo - 2021

We empirically investigate the relevance of multi-homing in two-sided markets. First, we build a micro-founded structural econometric model that encompasses demand for differentiated products and allows for multi-homing on both sides of the market. We then use an original dataset on the Italian...

. Within this setting, we study four types of price- xing agreement: (i) a segment-wide cartel in the premium submarket only …, (ii) a segment-wide cartel in the standard submarket only, (iii) two segment-wide cartels, and (iv) an industry …-wide cartel. We present a complete characterization of the collusive pricing equilibrium and examine the corresponding effect on …

The role of CO-2-EOR for the development of a CCTS infrastructure in the North Sea region : a techno-economic model and application

Mendelevitch, Roman - 2013

Scenarios of future energy systems attribute an important role to Carbon Capture, Transport, and Storage (CCTS) in achieving emission reductions. Using captured CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (CO2-EOR) can improve the economics of the technology. This paper examines the potential for CO2-EOR in...

Endogenous shifts in OPEC market power : a Stackelberg oligopoly with fringe ; conference paper

Huppmann, Daniel - 2013

This article proposes a two-stage oligopoly model for the crude oil market. In a game of several Stackelberg leaders, market power increases endogenously as the spare capacity of the competitive fringe goes down. This effect is due to the specific cost function characteristics of extractive...
