Cooperation for Monopolization? An Empirical Analysis of Cartelization
Ananth N. Madhavan, Robert T. Masson, William H. Lesser, Cooperation for Monopolization? An Empirical Analysis of Cartelization, The Review of Economics and Statistics, Vol. 76, No. 1 (Feb., 1994), pp. 161-175
Market Structure, Entry, and Performance in Korea
This paper applies a recursive model of structure-entry-performance with structural feedbacks to sixty-two Korean manufacturing industries for 1976-81. The results strongly support the market power hypothesis. The results also indicate that, despite active government intervention, the invisible hand is working: structure is evolving as expected with high profits leading to entry and consequently lower profits. However, there is little support for…
Excess Capacity and Limit Pricing
Entry may be inhibited by expectations that incumbents have lower marginal costs. Incumbents may be able to use limit pricing or excess capacity to further this expectation. We construct an empirical model of oligopoly capacity and pricing decisions and of entrant responses. The results support the hypothesis that both lower prices and greater excess capacity inhibit entry. They further support limit pricing, but provide no evidence that oligopol…
Quality Signaling and Oligopolistic Overcharges
When making brand selection decisions for complex technological products, a consumer is likely to use a subset of the characteristics as a “signal” of a brand's quality and performance. This study examines the usefulness of brandedness as a signal for consumers selecting three types of durable products, small and large appliances, and power hand tools. Using quality data from Consumer Reports, the brand image was found to assist appliance shopper…
Stochastic-Dynamic Limiting Pricing
N the last decade several papers have enriched the theory of pricing. Kamien and Schwartz (1971), Gaskins (1971), Baron (1973), and Flaherty (1980)' have made major contributions with dynamic and stochastic models. They predict important new implications for pricing and afford an opportunity for more refined tests of this behavior. We test these new implications and provide additional confirmation of pricing. Insights into how our tests add to th…
