Reference pricing (RP) is intended to reduce pharmaceutical expenditures by making demand more price elastic and thereby stimulating generic competition. However, expectation of fiercer price competition may weaken generic firms' incentive to enter, potentially making RP counterproductive. In this...

Teams often suffer from a free rider problem with respect to individual contributions. That putting teams into competition with each other can mitigate this problem is an important recent insight. However, we know little about how inequality in endowment between and within teams might influence...

We analyze the effect of a shared brand name, such as geographical names, on incentives of otherwise autonomous firms to establish a reputation for product quality. On the one hand, brand membership provides consumers with more information about past quality and therefore can motivate investment...
