Private Provision of a Complementary Public Good

Schmidtke, Richard - 2006

For several years, an increasing number of firms are investing in Open Source Software (OSS). While improvements in such a non-excludable public good cannot be appropriated, companies can benefit indirectly in a complementary proprietary segment. We study this incentive for investment in OSS. In...

One-sided private provision of public goods with implicit Lindahl pricing

Meier, Volker - 2010

We consider a sequential game in which one player produces a public good and the other player can influence this decision by making an unconditional transfer. An efficient allocation requires the Lindahl property: the sum of the two (implicit) individual prices has to be equal to the resource...

Complementary Platforms

Reynaerts, Jo; Van Cayseele, Patrick - 2007

We introduce an analytical framework close to the canonical model of platfirm competition investigated by Rochet and Tirole (2006) to study pricing decisions in two-sided markets when two or more platfirms are needed simultaneously for the successful completion of a transaction. The model...

Prediction and Identification in Two-Sided Markets

Boik, Andre - 2018

correlated. I show that the standard “one-sided” model of complements is a special case of the two-sided model, and that it … generates those same hallmark features of two-sided markets. The model of complements also performs well in predicting price … common outcome in two-sided markets. The main cost to using a model of complements to estimate cross-group effects in a two …

Doubling Back on Double Marginalization

Linnemer, Laurent - 2022

"Double marginalization" and "Elimination of Double marginalization" are catch-phrases commonly used in the IO literature. In this note, I trace back the origin of the idea to Chapter IX, on complementary goods monopolies, of Cournot (1838). Through the years Cournot's contribution remained a...

Equilibrium mergers in a composite good industry with efficiencies

Pardo-Garcia, Cristina; Sempere-Monerris, Jose J. - In: SERIEs - Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 6 (2015) 1, pp. 101-127

This paper studies equilibrium merging behavior in composite good industries. Component producers face the option to either merge with a similar component producer (horizontal merger) or a complementary one (vertical merger) of a composite good. Focusing only on strategic reasons, vertical...

A note on identification of discrete choice models for bundles and binary games

Fox, Jeremy T.; Lazzati, Natalia - In: Quantitative Economics 8 (2017) 3, pp. 1021-1036

We study nonparametric identification of single-agent discrete choice models for bundles (without requiring bundle-specific prices) and of binary games of complete information. We show that these two models are quite similar from an identification standpoint. Moreover, they are mathematically...

Internet infrastructure and competition in digital markets

Hanspach, Philip - 2022

Large digital platform companies increasingly integrate vertically by building Internet infrastructure, such as edge computing facilities, content delivery networks, or submarine cables. These investments enable new services while changing their bargaining power towards the upstream supplier. I...
