In Google we trust?

Burguet, Roberto; Caminal, Ramon; Ellman, Matthew - In: International Journal of Industrial Organization 39 (2015) C, pp. 44-55

Search engines: Left side quality versus right side profits

White, Alexander - In: International Journal of Industrial Organization 31 (2013) 6, pp. 690-701

Search engines face an interesting tradeoff in choosing the way to display their results. While providing high quality unpaid, or “left side” results attracts users, doing so can also cannibalize the revenue that comes from paid ads on the “right side”. This paper examines this tradeoff,...

Abuse of dominance and licensing of intellectual property

Rey, Patrick; Salant, David - In: International Journal of Industrial Organization 30 (2012) 6, pp. 518-527

We examine the impact of the licensing policies of one or more upstream owners of essential intellectual property (IP hereafter) on the variety offered by a downstream industry, as well as on consumers and social welfare. When an upstream IP monopoly increases the number of licenses, it enhances...

In January 2011, a price regulation was established in the Austrian gasoline market which prohibits firms from raising their prices more than once per day. Similar restrictions have been discussed in New York State and Germany. Despite their intuitive appeal, this article argues that...

Entry, imperfect competition, and futures market for the input

Dionne, Georges; Santugini, Marc - In: International Journal of Industrial Organization 35 (2014) C, pp. 70-83

We analyze firms' entry, production and hedging decisions under imperfect competition. We consider an oligopoly industry producing a homogeneous output in which risk-averse firms face an entry cost upon entering the industry, and then compete in Cournot with one another. Each firm faces...

Speculative storage in imperfectly competitive markets

Mitraille, Sébastien; Thille, Henry - In: International Journal of Industrial Organization 35 (2014) C, pp. 44-59

Markets for many commodities are characterized by imperfectly competitive production as well as substantial storage by speculators who are attracted by significant price volatility. We examine how speculative storage affects the behavior of an oligopoly producing a commodity for which demand is...
