Multiproduct Firms and Product Differentiation: A Survey

Juan A. Manez and Michael Waterson

No 269364, Economic Research Papers from University of Warwick - Department of Economics

Abstract: We start the survey by reviewing the implications of horizontal and vertical product differentiation on market structure under the assumption of single-product firms. Then, we analyse the main results of the multi-product firm models, both when variants are assumed differentiated in vertical attributes only and when variants are assumed differentiated in two dimensions (vertical and horizontal). Finally, we review the empirical literature about discrete-choice models of product differentiation.
