Consumer Welfare and Market Structure in a Model of Competition between Open Source and Proprietary Software
Gaudeul, Alexia - 2014
I consider a Vickrey-Salop model of spatial product differentiation with quasi-linear utility functions and contrast two modes of production, the proprietary model where entrepreneurs sell software to the users, and the open source model where users participate in software development. I show...

Market Structure, Countervailing Power and Price Discrimination : The Case of Airports
Haskel, Jonathan - 2014
countervailing power, via an increase in downstream concentration, depends on the competition regime between airlines and whether … airports can price discriminate: airline concentration reduces the landing fee when downstream competition is in quantities …, but if downstream competition is in prices only where airports cannot discriminate. Furthermore, only in a specific case …

Intimidating Competitors ? Endogenous Vertical Integration and Downstream Investment in Successive Oligopoly
Buehler, Stefan - 2020
We examine the interplay of endogenous vertical integration and cost-reducing downstream investment in successive oligopoly. We start from a linear Cournot model to motivate our more general reduced-form framework. For this general framework, we establish the following main results: First,...

How do market structures affect decisions on vertical integration/separation
Matsushima, Noriaki; Mizuno, Tomomichi - 2010
We provide a simple model to investigate decisions on vertical integration/separation. The key feature of this model is that more than one input is required for the final products of the local downstream monopolists. Depending on their cost structure, downstream firms' decisions on vertical...

On the Benefits of Contractual Inefficiency in Quality-Differentiated Markets
Bacchiega, Emanuele - 2013
Contractual inefficiencies within supply chains increase an input price above its marginal cost, therefore they are considered detrimental to consumer surplus. We argue that such inefficiencies may be beneficial to consumers in quality-differentiated markets where the "finiteness property"...

Market Games and Successive Oligopolies
Gabszewicz, Jean J. - 2007
This paper first introduces an approach relying on market games to examine how successive oligopolies do operate between downstream and upstream markets. This approach is then compared with the traditional analysis of oligopolistic interaction in successive markets. The market outcomes resulting...
