Signaling with Imperfect Competition*
We analyze a duopoly model where rms sell conspicuous goods to horizontallyand vertically-di¤erentiated consumers. These consumers care about both the intrinsic quality of the goods they purchase as well as the social statusconveyed by these goods (namely, the social inference of their hidden wealth based on their purchase). Firms o¤er non-linear price and quality schedules that, in e¤ect, s...
متن کاملImperfect Competition and Sunspots
This paper shows that imperfect competition can be a rich source of sunspots equilibria and coordination failures. This is demonstrated in a dynamic general equilibrium model that has no major distortions except imperfect competition. In the absence of fundamental shocks, the model has a unique certainty (fundamental) equilibrium. But there is also a continuum of stochastic (sunspots) equilibri...
متن کاملFragmentation, welfare, and imperfect competition
In this paper, I explore the effect of fragmentation of production processes on social welfare in the imperfectly competitive market. In particular, I examine the welfare properties of fragmentation from the viewpoint of industrialized countries. Firms located at a country decide whether they produce at home or move their production overseas. I show that there exists Nash equilibrium in which a...
متن کاملWage Determination and Imperfect Competition
Wage Determination and Imperfect Competition A striking feature of the past few decades has been the development of wage-determination models that assume that labour markets are imperfectly competitive. This paper discusses two such models (trade unions and oligopsony), although there are many more. It also asks if imperfectly competitive models should be used whenever researchers are modelling...
متن کاملImperfect Competition and Corporate Governance¤
This paper studies corporate governance when a ̄rm faces imperfect competition. We derive ̄rms' decisions from utility maximisation by individuals. This reduces the usual monopoly distortion. We ̄nd that corporate governance can e®ect the equilibrium in the product (or input) markets. This enables us to endogenise the objective function of the ̄rm. If the ̄rm cannot commit not to change its con...
