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).

В работе рассматриваются факторы, влияющие на субъективную удовлетворенность россиян жизнью. Исследование отличает использование в качестве объясняющих переменных социально ориентированных расходов консолидированных бюджетов регионов России (расходы на образование, здравоохранение и социальную политику) наряду с традиционными социально - демографическими характеристиками индивидов. Для анализа используются панельные данные, полученные путем объединения результатов общенациональных выборочных обследований индивидов РМЭЗ НИУ ВШЭ ...

We propose a model where foreign producer of authentic drag competes strategically with domestic producer of generic drag in presence of competitive producers of falsified authentic drag. Three approaches to combating of counterfeits are considered: quality control; mandatary labeling and internal regulation via full or partial state-ownership in the capital of domestic producer of generic ...

This note considers the competing vertical structures framework with Cournot-Bertrand competition downstream. It shows that the equilibrium wholesale price paid by a Cournot (Bertrand)-type retailer is above (below) marginal costs of a corresponding manufacturer. This result contrasts with the one under pure competition downstream (i.e., Cournot or Bertrand), where the wholesale price is set below ...

The paper demonstrates that if to allow renegotiation of the contract terms, then the result on profits in Alipranti et al. (2014) may be reversed, that is downstream firms may earn more under Bertrand competition than under Cournot competition. Furthermore, in equilibrium each downstream firm chooses price as a strategic variable. ...

This paper generalizes the result of Alipranti et al. (2014) regarding the wholesale prices: I prove that upstream firms always charge the wholesale prices above (below) their marginal costs in case of Bertrand (Cournot) competition downstream. Alipranti et al. (2014) demonstrates this result for the case of linear demand functions and monopolist that sells its product to ...

This essay analyses the impact of Russian domestic actors (specifically, traditionalist NGOs) on the government’s adoption and regulation of international norms and practices regarding disability. The Russian state supports traditionalist NGOs established in Soviet times—such as the All-Russian Societies of the Disabled, the Blind, and the Deaf — rather than promoting the growth of an ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

This paper presents a model of strategic competition between universities that accounts for the existence of positive spillover effect from -education (peer effect). It was demonstrated that in the presence of peer effect strategic competition results in inefficient student allocation between the two universities (biased to the high-quality university) and excessive quality differentiation. The model ...

Recent years have been characterized by a further drop in real incomes of Russians and the spread of pessimism among them regarding their material situation (after a short-term growth of optimistic expectations during the presidential campaign). The current situation in Russia in this area can be described as “negative stabilization”, because, although the decrease in ...

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 study vertical relations in markets with consumer and retailer search. We obtain three important new results. First, we provide a novel explanation for price dispersion that does not depend on some form of heterogeneity among consumers. Price dispersion takes on the form of a bimodal distribution. Second, under competitive conditions (many retailers or small ...

We study how a monopoly manufacturer optimally manages her contractual relations with retailers in markets with consumer search. 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 ...
