We analyse how market competition in a vertically differentiated polluting industry is affected by product variants that comply at different levels with "green" social norms. A green consumption behavior is considered as a byword of good citizenship. Consumer preferences depend on a combination...

This paper studies how the possibility for firms to sign collusive agreements (as for instance being part of alliances, cartels and mergers) may affect their quality and price choice in a market with vertically differentiated goods. For this purpose we model the firm decisions as a three-stage...

We analyze the effects of labor migration flows on income taxation between two countries (regions) differing by the size of their population and the level of productive efficiencies. Residents, otherwise identical, are heterogeneous because they incur different migration costs. Each resident...

In this paper we generalize the approach developed in the context of banking competition by Gabszewicz et al. (2011). In an entry/acquisition game, we allow the potential entrant in a vertically differentiated market to offer a variant lying at any level of the quality ladder and playing a...

We analyze the effects, on nonredistributive taxation and on migrations, of wage differentials existing between two countries (regions) differing by the size of their population. Residents, otherwise identical, are heterogeneous because they incur different migration costs. Each resident...

type="main" <p>We study the effects of integration of asymmetric complements when they are vertically differentiated. While confirming the standard effects of integration, namely the internalization of the double marginalization externality and the reduction of competition, we point out a new...</p>

We contribute to the debate on the impact of unilateral climate policy with a two-country two-firm international oligopoly model accounting for endogenous plant location and heterogeneity in both country size and firm’s emissions technology. Our results suggest that, if the carbon price...

Il miglioramento qualitativo dei prodotti e di servizi alla clientela sono stati individuati, da una vasta letteratura sul tema, quali fattori determinanti per un riposizionamento di mercato. Inoltre, la necessità di un sostegno pubblico ad innovazioni che agiscano sulla qualità (effettiva o...
