The Relationship

AbstractSince the 1990s, there has been substantial expansion of facility-based alternatives to nursing home care, such as assisted living facilities. This paper analyzes the relationship between expansion of the assisted living industry, nursing home market structure and nursing home private pay prices using a two-year panel of nursing homes in the State of Ohio. Fixed effect regressions suggest that the expansion of assisted living facilities are associated with increased nursing home concentration, but find no effect on private pay nursing home prices. This would be consistent with assisted livings reducing demand for nursing homes by delaying entry into a nursing home, though assisted livings are not direct competitors of nursing homes.

The Relationship

This article discusses the relationship between industrial concentration and the presence of black-owned firms. Strong evidence is found that more monopolistic industries have a smaller black presence. This demonstrates that the monopolistic industries in which black workers are known to face the worst discrimination are also the industries in which blacks face the highest structural entry barriers as entrepreneurs. Indeed, entry barriers may cause the monopolistic conditions which allow discrimination while simultaneously frustrating the entry of black entrepreneurs.

The Relationship

Stochastic frontier analysis, which is used to estimate technical efficiency, is extended to examine the market structure, conduct and performance hypothesis for the U.S. trucking industry. The technical efficiency measure takes into account not only the relationship between inputs used in the production of output, but it also examines the importance of market structure conduct factors to the performance of the firm. An empirical application to U.S. trucking carriers over the period 1994-2003 is examined. Results reveal that average haul, average load, debt-to-equity and market concentration significantly affected technical efficiency. Capital, fixed and variable input variables were significant in the production function equation.

The Relationship

Though considerable attention has been given to market structure, little research has been done on the relationship between market structure and elasticity structure. The authors develop and partially test the aggregate constant ratio elasticity pattern (ACREP), a parsimonious marketing mix elasticity model that describes the elasticity structure of submarkets characterized by a proportional-draw market share mechanism. An analysis of the brand price elasticities in nine markets (covering six product categories) suggests that the ACREP model is a robust approach for predicting the elasticity structure of submarkets within a nondurable product class. The underlying ACREP parameters, measuring consumer propensity to switch within and between submarkets, show systematic relationships with structural characteristics of the product markets.

Abstract This article explores the effects of monetary policy (inflation) in a Schumpeterian growth model with an endogenous market structure and distinct cash (or cash-in-advance, CIA) constraints on consumption, production, and two types of R&D investment—quality-improving and variety-expanding R&D. We show that the relationship between inflation and growth is negative if quality-improving R&D (incumbent) is subject to the CIA constraint, but positive if variety-expanding R&D (entrant) is subject to the CIA constraint. Inflation has no effect on growth as consumption or production is subject to the CIA constraint. In addition, the firm size may either increase or decrease in response to inflation depending on which type of R&D is constrained by cash. With all CIA constraints properly imposed, a likely scenario in our numerical analysis shows that a rise in inflation leads the growth rate to exhibit a decrease in the short run but an increase in the long run. Moreover, our welfare analysis shows that Friedman’s rule, in general, is not socially optimal.
