"Vertical Integration and Input Flows" (with Enghin Atalay and Ali Hortaçsu), American Economic Review, 104(4), (April 2014), 112048. Review of Vaclav Smil''s "Made in the USA: The Rise and Retreat of American Manufacturing."

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.

(integration) or by using external purchasing is of major interest in understanding why rms exist. A large literature investigates the determinants of vertical integration and, more recently, the relationship between vertical organization and innovation activities (see Lafontaine and Slade (2007) and Bresnahan and Levin (2012) for recent surveys).

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

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.

Vertical foreclosure is a type of anticompetitive behavior. A company purchases a supplier that supplies both the company and several competitors with raw materials. The company then uses its leverage over the supplier to receive a discount when it buys raw materials, .

II. Vertical Integration in Cement and ReadyMixed Concrete: History, Policy, and Theory Our data spans a 34year observation period, from 1963 to 1997. Over this time the cement and readymixed industries experienced two distinct periods of integration, separated by an over decadelong period of initial disintegration and then stability.

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 ...

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

Downloadable! This paper studies the effect of trade facilitation on vertical firm structure using plantlevel data from Switzerland. Based on the Business Census and the InputOutput table, we first calculate a binary measure of vertical integration for all plants registered in Switzerland. We then estimate the effect of a Mutual Recognition Agreement with the European Union on the plants ...

Vertical integration without market foreclosure. Vertical integration does not always foreclose markets. Researchers reviewing plant and market data in the US cement and concrete industries over a 34year span found that vertical integration led to lower prices and higher quantities for consumers, presumably because of production efficiencies ...

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.

The first of these papers, "Cementing Relationships: Vertical Integration, Foreclosure, Productivity, and Prices" with Chad Syverson, studies vertical mergers between cement and concrete producers. Such mergers were vehemently opposed in the 60s and 70s, but the "Chicago School" influence on vertical antitrust policy became much more ...

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 ...

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.
