Abstract: | Generic advertising promotes the general qualities of a product category, and, therefore, benefits all firms in the category. Free-riding is commonly observed in such campaigns when they use the Simple Voluntary Contribution Mechanism (VCM)- here the budget is obtained by simply adding up the voluntary contributions of firms. The authors propose a new mechanism called the Provision Point VCM that can help alleviate this free-riding problem. |
