Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Theoretical economic analysis is indispensable to understand the impact of economic activities under vertically related markets on economic welfare. We mainly analyzed many market environments with vertical relations, which contributes to the discussion on competition policy. Throughout the project, the bargaining powers of agents in each market environment substantially influence the predicted outcomes. For instance, under a bilateral monopoly market with a manufacturer and a retailer, the manufacturer opens its direct distribution channel to improve its disagreement payoff if its bargaining power over the retailer is not sufficiently strong. The effect of the opening on economic welfare depends on the efficiency of the direct distribution channel. When the retailer and the direct distribution channel compete in quantity, the opening harms economic welfare if the efficiency of the direct distribution channel is slightly worse than that of the retailer.
