Markets, contracts, and hierarchies : how bargaining frictions affect governance

Ellingsen, Tore; Miettinen, Topi - 2026 - First version, April 2025, Revised January 2026

We develop an organizational governance model with a single buyer and endogenous upstream entry. Investments and control rights over assets and actions are immediately contractable; production is contractable after uncertainty resolves. We show the following: Supplier competition eliminates...

Control without ownership : public insurance, firm boundaries, and buyer authority in fixed-factor supply chains

Meyerheim, Gerrit - 2026

Public support can change not only who receives income but also who controls productive assets. I study a fixed-factor supply chain in which private state-contingent finance is costly or capacity constrained and owners choose among autonomy, contractual control, and integration. A general...

Foreclosure incentives with network effects : a framework for screening digital mergers

Johnen, Johannes; Shekhar, Shiva - 2025

This paper proposes a simple yet useful framework for evaluating vertical mergers in digital markets by distinguishing between product-specific and ecosystem-specific network effects. Vis-'a-vis no network effects, product-specific network effects amplify foreclosure and steering incentives, as...

Mandated data-sharing in hybrid marketplaces

Navarra, Federico; Pino, Flavio; Sandrini, Luca - 2024

We study a hybrid marketplace where a vertically integrated platform competes with a seller in a horizontally differentiated downstream market. The platform has a data advantage and can price discriminate consumers, whereas the seller cannot. Our analysis shows that, by properly setting the...

Vertical Integration and Plan Design in Healthcare Markets

Cuesta, José Ignacio; Noton, Carlos E.; Vatter, Benjamin - 2024

We measure the impacts of vertical integration between insurers and hospitals. In the Chilean market, where half of private hospital capacity is vertically integrated, integration increases inpatient care spending by 6 percent and decreases consumer surplus and total welfare. Integrated insurers...
