vertical integration''s foreclosure, or market power, This study utilizes integration episodes in the cement (SIC 3241) and readymixed concrete (SIC 3273) industries between 1963 and 1997 as an empirical laboratory to investigate the causes and consequences of vertical mergers, particularly regarding evidence on the

This paper empirically investigates the possible market power effects of vertical integration proposed in the theoretical literature on vertical foreclosure. It uses a rich data set of cement and readymixed concrete plants that spans several decades to perform a detailed case study. There is little ...
We investigate the effects of vertical integration on operational performance. Large airlines use regional partners to operate some of their flights. Regionals may be owned or governed through contracts. We estimate whether an airline''s use of an owned, rather than independent, regional at an airport affects delays and cancellations on the airline''s own flights out of that airport.
Vertical relations and vertical restraints Vertical integration Vertical integration A firm is vertically integrated when she controls over several or all of the production steps involved in the creation of its product or service. Example:in the oil industry, the major companies carry out inhouse the following steps of oil production: Exploration
Sep 01, 2010· We study the determinants of vertical integration. We first derive a number of predictions regarding the relationship between technology intensity and vertical integration from a simple incomplete contracts model. Then, we investigate these predictions using plantlevel data for the UK manufacturing sector.

This paper empirically investigates the possible market power effects of vertical integration proposed in the theoretical literature on vertical foreclosure. It uses a rich data set of cement and ready‐mixed concrete plants that spans several decades to perform a detailed case study. There is little evidence that foreclosure is quantitatively important in these industries.

Our study extends the empirical literature on whether vertical restraints are anticompetitive. We focus on exclusive contracting in platform markets, which feature indirect network effects and thus are susceptible to applications barriers to entry. Theory suggests that exclusive contracts in vertical relationships between the platform provider and software supplier can heighten the entry barriers.

Downloadable! Study of the impact of mergers and acquisitions (MAs) on productivity and market power has been complicated by the difficulty of separating these two effects. We use newlydeveloped techniques to separately estimate productivity and markups across a wide range of industries using detailed plantlevel data. Employing a differenceindifferences framework, we find that MAs are ...
