Does Reducing Spatial Differentiation Increase Product Differentiation? Effects of Zoning on Retail Entry and Format Variety*
This paper investigates the impact of spatial zoning restrictions on retail market outcomes. We estimate a structural model of entry, location and format choice across a large number of markets in the presence of zoning restrictions. The paper contributes to the literature in three ways: First, the paper demonstrates that estimates of factors affecting market potential and competitive intensity...

متن کاملVertical Product Differentiation, Entry-Deterrence Strategies, and Entry Qualities
We analyze the entry of a new product into a vertically differentiated market in which an entrant and an incumbent compete in prices. Here the entry-deterrence strategies of the incumbent firm rely on “limit qualities.” With a sequential choice of quality, a quality-dependent marginal production cost, and a fixed entry cost, we relate the entry-quality decision and the entry-deterrence strategi...

A classic problem in economics is the impact of taxation on market outcomes. Taxes drive a wedge between producer and consumer prices, thereby distorting prices and quantities in a market. In the archetypal case, attention focuses on one homogeneous good. However, in many oligopolistic industries, tax policy may asymmetrically impact goods which are imperfectly substitutable. In such a situatio...

We show that following a merger, a retailer may want to enhance its buyer power vis a vis suppliers by delisting products and committing to a “single-sourcing” purchasing strategy.
