Australian Economic Papers, 1999, vol. 38, issue 3, 238-249

Abstract: This paper studies the effect of intra‐firm branch competition in a monopoly setting. It demonstrates that intra‐firm branch competition has a significant impact on the firm's market decisions, and consequently on the market outcome. The paper has identified the sufficient conditions under which a branch‐competitive monopoly is superior to a pure monopoly from the consumer's viewpoint in that the former supplies more quantity and higher quality at the same price.
