Teichmann, Isabel; Schlippenbach, Vanessa von - DIW Berlin (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung) - 2014
A manufacturer contracting secretly with several downstream competitors faces an opportunism problem, preventing it from exerting its market power. In an infinitely repeated game, the opportunism problem can be relaxed. We show that the upstream firm's market power can be restored even further...

Die Konzentration im deutschen Lebensmitteleinzelhandel schreitet weiter voran und rückt das Thema Nachfragemacht mehr und mehr in den Fokus wettbewerbspolitischer Diskussionen. Im Gegensatz zur Angebotsmacht liegen gesicherte empirische Erkenntnisse über das Vorhandensein, das Ausmaß und die...
