| Research Abstract |
In this study, we explore the market environment where rational economic agents engage in exclusive dealing to deter efficient entry. We show that anticompetitive exclusive dealing arises when the incumbent faces large investment projects or when the incumbent can control the level of downstream competition by using direct retailers.
