Advances in Vertical Differentiation: theory and applications

Ongoing

About

The aim of this project is to contribute to the literature on vertical differentiation (VD) models with endogenous quality, both in terms of theory as well as applications. The project will study firms’ decisions regarding the quality of their products when unit costs increase with quality. We will develop theoretical models and validate them using experimental economics. We will take the housing market (HM) as our leading application
