Chain store against manufacturers: Regulation can mitigate market distortion
P. 480-493.
In press
Contemporary domination of chain-stores in retailing is modeled, perceiving a monopolistic retailer as a market leader. A myriad of her suppliers compete in a monopolistic competitive sector, displaying quadratic consumers’ preferences for a differentiated good. The leader announces her markup before the suppliers choose their prices/quantities. She may restrict the range of suppliers or allow for free entry. Then, a market distortion, stemming from double marginalization and excessive variety would be softened whenever the government allows the retailer to apply an entrance fee to the suppliers, or/and per-quantity sales subsidies (doing the opposite to usual Russian regulation).

By choosing wholesale prices, the manufacturer affects the degree of competition between retailers and the incentives of consumers to search. We show that depending on whether or not the manufacturer can commit to her price decisions and ...

Although the linear-in-means model is the workhorse model in empirical work on peer effects, its
theoretical properties are understudied. In this paper, we investigate how social norms affect
individual effort, aggregate effort, and welfare. While individual productivity always positively
affects own effort and utility, we show that taste for conformity has an ambiguous effect on
individual outcomes and depends ...

We show that spatial equilibrium conditions in workhorse models of quantitative spatial economics (QSE) can be generated by the McFadden (1974) model together with the condition that the individual choice probability of a region equals the population share of that region. Thus, recent models of QSE and one of the oldest location choice models can ...

Non-state actors supply basic social services to ordinary people even more extensively than states in many countries around the world. Non-state providers (NSPs) often have deep historical roots in their respective polities and, in some cases, predate the establishment of modern states by centuries. Although the role of non-state actors in social welfare provision is ...

The article discusses the mechanism of risk shifting in the presence of information asymmetry. The model is based on (Ordonez, 2018). Due to the asymmetry of information, the regulator cannot differentiate bank assets by the risk level, and therefore cannot guarantee (in particular, to investors) an adequate risk level of banks such that is sufficient ...

Welfare states everywhere have been under pressure to retrench and restructure, to reduce public expenditures, and to adopt market-conforming welfare models. Such pressures have been especially intense in postcommunist East Central Europe and the former Soviet Union. As these countries moved into market transition and recession during the early 1990s, their inherited systems of broad, ...
