We extend the analysis of the impact of firms' pricing policies upon entry to a framework where price competition and … and an entrant may enter in one of the markets. Entry under discriminatory pricing is more likely than under uniform … pricing when entry is profitable under discriminatory pricing but unprofitable under uniform pricing. Our results show entry …

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 …

We analyze models of product differentiation with perfect price discrimination and free entry. With a fixed number of … product characteristics in a socially optimal way. However, with free entry, the number of firms is always excessive. Our … with free entry and imply that one has excessive entry into the ranks of the principals. …
