Games Hospitals Play: Entry Deterrence in Hospital Procedure Markets
Strategic investment models, though popular in the theoretical literature, have rarely been tested empirically.

Potential entrants are easy to identify in such markets, enabling the researcher to accurately estimate the entry threat faced by different in...
متن کاملTying and entry deterrence in vertically differentiated markets∗
This paper analyzes tying and bundling as entry deterrence tools. It shows that a multi-product firm can defend its monopoly position in one market via mixed bundling even without having a dominant position in another market. Such a strategy, however, leads to welfare losses and cannot be prevented by cooperation or a merger among rivals. This is shown in a model with two complementary goods. E...

First, we show that incumbents establish the reciprocal access charge inefficiently below cost when they compete in prices but they behave efficiently if they compete in utilities. Secondly, we study how incumbents determine the industry-wide access charge under the...
