We analyze the impact of product bundling in experimental markets. One firm has monopoly power in a first market but competes with another firm à la Cournot in a second market. We compare treatments where the multi-product firm (i) always bundles, (ii) never bundles, and (iii) chooses whether...

In a framework with an upstream monopoly and a downstream duopoly, we analyze the impact of convex costs on the downstream level. In contrast to the case of constant marginal costs, vertical integration does not imply complete market foreclosure. While the non-integrated downstream firm receives...

We report the results of experiments designed to test recent theories of vertical foreclosure. Consistent with the theory, the upstream firm has more difficulty commiting to supply the monopoly quantity in treatments with non-integration and secret contracts than in either treatments with...
