Protection for Sale Under Monopolistic Competition: An Empirical Investigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a general empirical framework to estimate the protection-for-sale model, where the protection regime shifts according to a sector’s market structure (perfectly or monopolistically competitive). We base the protection structure on Grossman and Helpman (1994) for the subset of perfectly competitive sectors and on Chang (2005) for the subset of monopolistically competitive sectors. The two protection regimes are simultaneously estimated with joint constraints. The results of the J-test consistently reject the homogeneous (perfect competition) protection-for-sale model often adopted in previous literature and suggest a direction of improvement toward the proposed heterogeneous protection structure model.

The Coase Conjecture (1972) has generated a large literature on the pricing of durable goods by monopolists. The theoretical predictions span a whole range with nearly perfect competition at one end and nearly perfect price discrimination at the other. An empirical test is therefore of importance. We test the Coase conjecture in an experimental setting and report on the results. We also test th...

This paper employs the "New Empirical Industrial Organization" approach, developed by Panzar-Rosse, which is used to measure the degree of competition and concentration for 23 industries with 2 Digit ISIC code during the period 1997 -2012. Panzar-Rosse model measures market power by studying how changes in factor input price is reflected in equilibrium revenue by firms, and market power is divi...

Examining a state-dependent pricing model in the presence of menu costs and dynamic duopolistic interactions, this paper claims that the assumption regarding market structure is crucial for identifying the menu costs for price changes. Prices in a dynamic duopolistic market can be more rigid than those in more competitive markets, such as a monopolistic-competition market. Therefore, the estima...

The paper introduces differences in production and transaction conditions between countries into the model of monopolistic competition to investigate the interplay between trade policies and development strategies. It applies inframarginal analysis, which is total benefit analysis between corner solutions in addition to marginal analysis of each corner solution, to show that as transaction cond...
