| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we try to identify the economic environment where rational economic agents engage in exclusive dealing for anticompetitive reasons. This study consists of theoretical and experimental studies. In the theoretical studies, we find that anticompetitive exclusive contracts are singed when the downstream firm bargains with upstream firms sequentially and when the complementary input supplier with market power exists. In the experimental study, we compare three treatments, which differ in terms of the sellers' moves, and find significant differences to the incumbent seller's exclusive offer and exclusion rates whereas 100 % exclusion rate is expected for all treatments.
