Product bundling and tying in competition∗
This paper explores tying in the situation where a multi-product firm without monopoly power competes against several single-product firms. It considers two independent markets: one for a horizontally differentiated good, the other for a homogeneous good. As opposed to the widely accepted opinion that tying may be profitable only in the case of monopoly power, it is shown that under reasonable ...
متن کاملLabor tying
We study labor-tying in a competitive agricultural economy. The co-existence of seasonal fluctuations in income and imperfect credit markets suggests that tied contracts should dominate casual labor markets. However, empirical observation from India suggests that this is far from being the case, and indeed, that there is a declining trend in labor tying. We consider a model that permits deviati...
متن کاملCompetition Policy, Collusion, and Tacit Collusion
In this paper, I pursue three goals. The first is to model collusion in a way that is distinct from noncooperative collusion. The second and third are to develop a particular specification of a standard model of noncooperative collusion that permits explicit solution for equilibrium outputs and reversion thresholds and to extend this analysis to allow for a deterrence-based competition policy t...
متن کاملSimulated Knot Tying
Applications such as suturing in medical simulations require the modeling of knot tying in physically realistic rope. The paper describes the design and implementation of such a system. Our model uses a spline of linear springs, adaptive subdivision and a dynamics simulation. Collisions are discrete event simulated and follow the impulse model. Although some care must be taken to maintain stabl...
متن کاملSlicing and Bundling
We develop a theory of agenda-setting in a legislature. A proposer supports a platform comprised of several policies. Policies are divisible and can be bundled — the proposer can slice each policy into parts, and she can aggregate the various policy parts into bills. The proposer chooses an agenda, which is a collection of bills. The legislature votes each bill up or down, and all the policy pa...
