We analyze the impact of product bundling in experimental markets. One firm has monopoly power in a first market but competes with another firm à la Cournot in a second market. We compare treatments where the multi-product firm (i) always bundles, (ii) never bundles, and (iii) chooses whether...

We compare treatments where the multiproduct firm (i) always bundles, (ii) never bundles, and (iii) chooses whether or not...
