In the recent food waste debate, potatoes represent an important factor with approximately half of the production being removed from the food supply chain. Because selling unwashed potatoes is known as a potential remedy to address this phenomenon, the present article investigates this case in...

En este estudio sobre los vínculos productivos entre Colombia y el Ecuador se identifica un conjunto de sectores en los que la relación entre comercio y producción es particularmente profunda. Se utilizan diversas metodologías para identificar y estudiar el comercio bilateral y las cadenas...

We experimentally study price-quantity competitions in duopoly and triopoly markets and compare the results with the respective mixed strategy equilibria. The equilibrium does not predict experimental outcomes adequately, but we find indications for a reactive strategy in the experiments.

Positive effects of multimarket activities on cooperation between firms are widely acknowledged. We study these effects in a setting with home market asymmetries as is typical for global competition. In our multimarket duopoly experiment each firm has a home market but may also enter the other...

I study a game with one market incumbent and a small entrant in a duopoly with perfectly substitutable products. Firms face a sequential Bertrand competition. Limiting the initial capacity (Judo economics) is a plausible entry strategy for the small firm. If we, however, introduce asymmetry in...

The theory of "Judo Economics" describes an optimal entry strategy for small firms. Using a capacity limitation, small firms force dominant market incumbents to accommodate. In this article, we study the power of Judo economics as an entry strategy in different market environments. We find...
