Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to investigate a location choice of firms and to offer a policy implication. First, I construct a unidirectional model where consumers can only buy from one direction. I show that the equilibrium outcome of the previous study does not constitute a subgame perfect Nash equilibrium. In addition, applying my conjoint analysis to the book market of Japan, I investigate the relationship between product attributes and the optimal price. Second, I study the price and welfare effects of a merger of firms producing unidirectional complements. I show that a merger raises a price of a good, resulting in lower consumer surplus. This result is in sharp contrast to Cournot's classical implication that a merger in strict complements makes all consumers strictly better off. Furthermore, I apply a method, which utilizes the idea of pass-through in an analysis of third-degree price discrimination, to compare consumer surplus under vertical integration and separation.
