Published: February 12, 2026 00:00
This study examines the dynamics of demand functions for a wide range of consumer products in Japan over the past three decades. Using highly granular point-of-sale (POS) data and machine learning techniques, we estimate key demand function parameters,…
Platform competition and strategic trade-offs for complementors: Heterogeneous reactions to the entry of a new platform
https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:hal:journl:hal-05358065&r=&r=com
Published: February 7, 2026 00:00
We study how the entry of a rival platform affects the strategies of the incumbent's complementors. The latter face a trade-off: While the entry threatens their benefits from indirect network effects, it also allows them to escape intense within-platform…

https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:tor:tecipa:tecipa-819&r=&r=com
Published: February 4, 2026 00:00
We propose a fast algorithm for computing the GMM estimator in the BLP demand model (Berry, Levinsohn, and Pakes, 1995). Inspired by nested pseudo-likelihood methods for dynamic discrete choice models, our approach avoids repeatedly solving the inverse…
Slippery Up and Sticky Down? An Analysis of the Auckland Regional Fuel Tax

https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:tse:wpaper:131302&r=&r=com
Published: January 22, 2026 00:00
We study the effect of upstream competition and supply shocks on a buyer’s investment decisions, under demand uncertainty. Imperfect upstream competition leads to double marginalization. This effect is mitigated if the supplier pool is larger (when…
