Endogenizing managerial delegation: A new result under Nash bargaining and network effects

Abstract: We reconsider the endogenous choice of delegation to a manager by two down-stream firms in both a Cournot and a Bertrand vertical market with network effects. An upstream monopolist charges a two-part tariff for a crucial input. By applying the Nash solution in a centralized bargaining, we show that hiring a manager is never an equilibrium under Cournot, regardless of network effects, while it can be the equilibrium choice for firms competing à la Bertrand, depending on the interplay between the network externalities and the degree of product substitutability.

Keywords: Nash bargaining; two-part tariff; strategic delegation; network externalities. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
