Spatial price competition and buyer power in the U.S. beef packing industry

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We develop a spatially‐explicit model of the U.S. beef packing industry to study key questions related to competition in an oligopsony setting. Cattle supplies are modeled at the county level, and packing plants' location, capacity, and ownership are taken as given. Packers procure negotiated cattle by competing in prices in each local (county)

Cross‐Ownership and Welfare‐Inferior Price Competition with Relative Profit Delegation Contracts

Bulletin of Economic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider management reward contracts based on relative profit performance under cross‐ownership and find nonequivalence of price and quantity competition. We also examine an endogenous choice of competition mode under unilateral cross‐ownership and show that the welfare‐inferior price competition can appear unless the product's ...

Pairwise Imitation and Tournament Graphs

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates strategic dynamics under the behavioral rule of pairwise interact and imitate (PII), which requires minimal information and emphasizes outperforming opponents in pairwise interactions. We characterize PII using weak tournament graphs and, for a broad class of dynamics, establish a one‐shot stability result for ...

Strategic delegation and risk‐taking in R&D: Partial delegation versus full delegation

International Journal of Economic Theory, EarlyView.
Abstract We examine firm's risk‐taking decisions in R&D under two different delegation strategies between partial delegation (PD) and full delegation (FD): FD authorizes both quantity and R&D risk but PD only authorizes quantity. Cournot firms under the FD set higher profit weights at the expected value of cost realization, which can lessen competition,

Strategic environmental corporate social responsibility in a vertically differentiated duopoly

International Journal of Economic Theory, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigate firms' strategic incentives to adopt environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR) in the presence of quality–cost differences within a vertically differentiated duopoly. We find that (i) the low‐quality firm chooses a higher (lower) ECSR level than the high‐quality firm when the low‐quality firm has a relatively more ...

We Value Your Privacy: Behavior‐Based Pricing Under Endogenous Privacy

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study a duopoly model of behavior‐based pricing in which consumers can either disclose or hide their data. We contrast two data policies. Under an open data policy, disclosed data is shared with all firms. In the unique equilibrium, all consumers disclose, and firms price discriminate, leading to welfare losses from inefficient poaching ...

Do carbon prices affect stock prices?

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We explore how carbon pricing affects corporate financial performance during Phase 3 of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). We find that the relationship between carbon prices and stock prices depends critically on the proportion of verified emissions covered by freely allocated ETS allowances: For firms with a greater ...

Chinese Journal of Population Resources and Environment, 2017
ABSTRACTThis paper analyzes how the foreign penetration affects China’s environment policy in a mixed oligopoly framework, and gets several interesting conclusions. First, our result shows that government should strengthen the degree of environmental policy along with increasing proportion of domestic ownership of multinational firms.

Inertia Versus Adaptation: Relational Resilience in Buyer–Supplier Relationships Facing Extreme Disruption

Journal of Supply Chain Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research introduces the concept of relational resilience, which reflects the dynamic capacity of a buyer–supplier relationship to absorb external shocks and continue its core function of exchange. Guided by structural inertia theory (SIT), the research explores how relationship age, exchange volume, and multiplexity contribute to ...

Privatization and Government's Preference under Mixed Oligopoly: A Generalization [PDF]

In this paper, we generalize Kato's (Economics Bulletin, 2008) model by allowing many private firms in the mixed oligopoly setting, rather than the mixed duopoly framework of Kato (2008).
