| Abstract: | The author analyzes producers' choices of optimal distribution systems in a setting with two producers of differentiated products and two identical retailers. Producers may choose to have a single common retailer or one exclusive retailer each. In an infinite horizon model the producers initially pick a distribution system, and once this decision is made producers must incur a waiting cost to change. The main finding is that a common distribution system can be sustained if waiting costs are low enough, and welfare is reduced as compared with when producers have exclusive dealers. |
