Vertical Differentiation and Collusion : Cannibalization or Proliferation?
Gabszewicz, Jean J. - 2016
In this paper, we tackle the dilemma of pruning versus proliferation in a vertically differentiated oligopoly under the assumption that some firms collude and control both the range of variants for sale and their corresponding prices, likewise a multiproduct firm. We analyse whether pruning...

Two-sided markets with pecuniary and participation externalities
Schmidtke, Richard - 2006
The existing literature on "two-sided markets" addresses participation externalities, but so far it has neglected pecuniary externalities between competing platforms. In this paper we build a model that incorporates both externalities. In our setup differentiated platforms compete in advertising...

Two-sided markets with negative externalities
Reisinger, Markus - 2004
This paper analyses a two-sided market in which two platforms compete against each other. One side, the advertisers, exerts a negative externality on the ther side, the users. It is shown that if platforms can charge advertisers only, a higher degree of competition for users can lead to higher...

Collusion in Quality-Segmented Markets
Bos, Iwan; Marini, Marco A. - 2021
. 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 …

Can Uncertainty Justify Overlapping Policy Instruments to Mitigate Emissions?
Lecuyer, Oskar - 2013
This article constitutes a new contribution to the analysis of overlapping instruments to cover the same emission sources. Using both an analytical and a numerical model, we show that when the risk that the CO2 price drops to zero and the political unavailability of a CO2 tax (at least in the...

An Evaluation of Overseas Oil Investment Projects Under Uncertainty Using a Real Options Based Simulation Model
Zhu, Lei - 2013
This paper applies real options theory to establish an overseas oil investment evaluation model that is based on Monte Carlo simulation and is solved by the Least Squares Monte-Carlo method. To better reflect the reality of overseas oil investment, our model has incorporated not only the...

Including System Integration of Variable Renewable Energies in a Constant Elasticity of Substitution Framework : The Case of the WITCH Model
Carrara, Samuel - 2016
The penetration of Variable Renewable Energies (VREs) in the electricity mix poses serious challenges in terms of management of the electrical grids, as the associated variability and non-dispatchability are in contrast with the requirement that the load be instantaneously equalized by the...
