| Tiivistelmä: | In this paper the authors examine how the timing of investment affects the levels of quality chosen by firms. They show that in a model with vertical quality differentiation a game with sequential quality choice induces both firms to make smaller quality investments than they would in a game with simultaneous quality choice. Furthermore, they show that while aggregate profit is higher, both consumer and social surplus are lower under sequential quality choice. |
