Consumer Discrimination, Duopoly, and Black Firm Entry: The Welfare Effect of Subsidies

Industrial Organization from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Consumer discrimination, to the extent that it discourages the entry of Black-owned firms may be welfare reducing, as market output is lower than otherwise. This paper offers a simple model of duopoly in which conditions are derived for which a profit subsidy to Black-owned firms increases, decreases, or has no effect on social welfare.
