Shed Light

We explore the strategic value of quantity forcing contracts in a manufacturer-retailer environment under both adverse selection and moral hazard. Manufacturers dealing with (exclusive) competing retailers may prefer to leave contracts silent on retail prices, whenever other aspects of the retailers' activity remain nonverifiable. Two effects are at play when moving from retail price maintenance to quantity forcing. First, restricting screening possibilities may increase retailers' rent. Second, such a restriction affects downstream competition. This latter effect may justify using quantity forcing contracts and, more generally, shed light on a novel source of contractual incompleteness. (JEL D82, D86, L14)

Price Maintenance

Due to the recognition of their positive market effects, the evolving approach to minimum or fixed resale price maintenance (RPM) creates, in many countries, the requirement of analyzing their true economic outcomes. In the light of newest judgments delivered by the Polish Supreme Court, the purpose of this article is to analyze if it is still justified to qualify RPM as a multilateral practice that restricts competition ‘by object’ under Polish law.

Minimum Resale Price Maintenance

With its Leegin decision in June 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court adopted amuch more permissive judicial attitude toward businesses' use of vertical price restraintsthan had been the case for almost a century. In most instances, manufacturerswill now be able to use minimum resale price maintenance when dealing withretailers without violating federal antitrust laws. This should increase the efficiencyof product distribution. Some firms are unlikely to be able to take full advantage ofthese more efficient distribution methods, however, because the antitrust laws ofsome individual states are likely to conflict with the new federal rules.
