  • Do firms always benefit from the presence of active customers

    Didier LausselARTICLEApplied Economics2022

    We study price personalization in a two period duopoly with horizontally differentiated products. In the second period, a firm has collected detailed information on its old customers, using it to engage in price personalization. Customers, when returning to buy, may choose to incur a cost in order to access the standard offer of their previous provider in addition to its personalized offer and the standard offer of its rival. The analysis confirm…

  • The curse of knowledge

    Open AccessDidier Laussel, Ngo Van Long et al.ARTICLEThe RAND Journal of Economics2020

    We show that a monopolist's profit is higher if he refrains from collecting coarse information on his customers, sticking to constant uniform pricing rather than recognizing customers' segments through their purchase history. In the Markov perfect equilibrium with coarse information collection, after each commitment period, a new introductory price is offered to attract new customers, creating a new market segment for price discrimination. Eventu…

  • Low prices cum selective distribution versus high prices

    Nada Ben Elhadj, Didier LausselARTICLEApplied Economics2017

    We investigate the best signalling strategy for a monopoly introducing a new product with unobservable quality when second-period sales are linked to first-period ones and the firm may tailor its distribution network to exclude some consumers. When producing a high quality product rather than a low quality one is relatively costly with respect to the increase in quality, optimal signalling is by price alone. But when the cost differential is lowe…

  • Is firm-sponsored training a palliative? A common agency approach

    Hejer Lasram, Didier Laussel et al.ARTICLEApplied Economics2016

    We analyse the issue of firm-sponsored training under product market imperfections. In this setting, qualification becomes a public good for firms when their profits are increasing in the stock of skilled workers but remains a private good to students/workers. Students have to pay a tuition fee but at the same time firms sponsor education: universities sell training to both. We prove that the proportion of skilled workers is larger in more compet…

    Nada Ben Elhadj, Rim Lahmandi-Ayed et al.ARTICLERecherches économiques de Louvain2014

    Dans ce papier, nous caractérisons l’équilibre d’un marché duopolistique en présence d’externalités publicitaires. Nous montrons que la distinction pertinente n’est pas entre des externalités publicitaires purement positives et des externalités purement négatives mais entre des externalités fortement positives et des externalités faiblement positives ou négatives. En outre, nous montrons que, selon l’intensité des externalités publicitaires et le…

  • The sources of protectionist drift in representative democracies

    Didier Laussel, Raymond RiezmanCHAPTER2013

    We analyze a two country-two good model of international trade in which citizens in each country differ by their specific factor endowments. The trade policy in each country is set by the politician who has been elected by the citizens in a previous stage. Due to a delegation effect citizens generally favor candidates who are more protectionist than they are. The one-candidate-per-country equilibria exhibit a "protectionist drift" owing to this d…

  • Advertising and the Rise of Free Daily Newspapers

    Open AccessJEAN J GABSZEWICZ, Didier Laussel et al.ARTICLEEconomica2012References: 6

    This paper develops a model of the daily newspaper industry in order to provide a tentative explanation for the rise of free newspapers. This explanation is based on the growth of net advertising revenues per reader, i.e. of the difference between advertising revenue per reader and unit printing cost. Our analysis explains why the new entrant chooses to enter as a free newspaper with a minimum quality level, rather than as a traditional outlet wi…

    L’objectif de cet article est d’apporter un nouvel éclairage dans la littérature consacrée à « l’effet taille de marché » (« the home market effect ») et développée depuis quelques années autour du modèle de Helpman et Krugman (1985). Nous présentons des travaux qui montrent que les conditions d’existence de l’échange net entre deux pays et les structures d’échange et de spécialisation peuvent varier très sensiblement avec la taille relative du g…

    Open AccessDidier Laussel, Philippe Michel et al.ARTICLERecherches économiques de Louvain2004

    In a two-country Ricardian model, we study the dynamics of intersectoral reallocation of labour following upon a once and for all move to free trade. The job creation/destruction process in both sectors is slow and this results in unemployment during the transition toward the long run free trade equilibrium. We identify different free trade regimes depending on whether or not the world relative price is between the two autarkic prices. In some re…
