Can Price Discrimination be Bad for Firms and Good for All Consumers? A Theoretical Analysis of Cross-Market Price Constraints with Entry and Product Differentiation
Azar, Ofer H. - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2002
The article examines a differentiated-products duopoly model where the firms make entry decisions to two markets and … then choose prices. The effects of product differentiation and entry costs are analyzed in two games: with and without … price discrimination between the markets. Allowing price discrimination encourages more entry and tends to reduce prices and …

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...

Collusion sustainability with a capacity constrained firm
Madio, Leonardo; Pignataro, Aldo - 2022
We study an infinitely repeated oligopoly game in which firms compete on quantity and one of them is capacity constrained. We show that collusion sustainability is non-monotonic in the size of the capacity constrained firm, which has little incentive to deviate from a cartel. We also present...

Horizontal licensing in vertically related markets
Bakaouka, Elpiniki - In: SERIEs : Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 15 (2024) 1, pp. 57-94
We study the incentives of a downstream firm that sources its core input from a vertically integrated supplier to license its patented technology to an external firm. Licensing transforms the licensee into both a direct downstream competitor and a customer of the supplier. The vertically...

Firm size distortions under duopoly
González-Maestre, Miguel; Peñarrubia, Diego - In: Estudios de Economía 44 (2017) 2, pp. 157-172
Motivated by the fact that some regulations involve extra costs for those firms at a size beyond a critical threshold, this paper contributes to the analysis of the welfare distortions due to these regulations. In the context of a duopoly, our results show that social welfare is not monotonic...

Conjectural cost variations in a differentiated good oligopoly
Jurgan, Jens (contributor) - 2009
In the homogenous good case, the relationship between market structure and efficiency was studied extensively. Assuming a standard quadratic utility with quantity competition, this paper carries on the analysis in a differentiated good context. It can be shown that there is a positive...
