| Tiivistelmä: | This paper shows why managers are not perfect agents for shareholders. When managers of a multi-product firm exert unobservable effort to improve product quality, there is a trade-off between providing adequate effort incentives and ensuring sufficient price-coordination between the product divisions. This makes some intra-firm price competition optimal, explaining why many multi-product firms allow for competition between divisions. Intra-firm price competition can reduce quality-adjusted price, which has important implications for antitrust policy. |
