The longevity of cartels has been a highly contested topic among economists and managers, with numerous researchers arguing that cartels are inherently unstable and their endurance is usually short-lived. Understanding the main factors that influence a cartel duration is essential from a...

Existing studies on Behaviour-based price discrimination (BBPD) typically show that firms offer discounts to encourage consumers located middle of the line segment to switch in a duopoly model. However, in practice, some firms offer both this discount and a discount to encourage consumers with...

We develop a framework to analyse stable cartelisation when firms can form multiple cartels. This contrasts with the existing literature which generally assumes, without further justification, that at most one cartel may form. We define cartelisation to be stable in the multiple cartels...

Price discrimination has substantial social and policy implications and has received attention in the literature. However, prior research on input price discrimination has largely been limited to single-input situations. We explore the strategic desirability of uniform pricing, fill gaps in the...

We study the licensing of a cost-reducing innovation in a Cournot oligopoly where an outside innovator uses three part tariffs that are combinations of upfront fees, per unit royalties and ad valorem royalties. Under general demand, the maximum possible licensing revenue under three part tariffs...

This paper explores the implications of financial repression, specifically, imperfect competition in the financial sector and capital controls for equilibrium interest rates and current account imbalances; and the implications of liberalization. I find that (1) interest differentials between...

Targeted pricing is an aggressive strategy that steals demand from rivals. Previous studies have shown that a firm prefers targeted pricing to uniform pricing when another supply chain is vertically integrated and thus its downstream firm purchases an input at a constant price. This study...

Without a sufficiently informative dataset, it would be difficult to explore strategic interdependencies among firms, such as demand estimation. This paper investigates strategic interdependence through a unique historical case of duopoly in the Japanese maritime industry during the 1880s. Yubin...
