Dynamic Voluntary Advertising and Vertical Product Quality

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: We investigate the dynamic relationship between advertising and product quality under duopolistic competition. By using a simplified vertical product differentiation model with voluntary advertising, we show that the firm with larger market share has a larger advertising share and that there is a positive relationship between the difference in product quality and the number of customers in an industry.
