Georgantzis, N. and García-Gallego, A. (2014) Monopolistic product line competition with ex post consumer heterogeneity. Theoretical Economics Letters, 04 (02). pp. 155-165. ISSN 2162-2086 doi: 10.4236/tel.2014.42023
Abstract/Summary
We model monopolistic competition in product lines, assuming that consumer heterogeneity is the result rather than the cause of product variety. Our results contradict some well-known policy implications yielded by the standard monopolistic competition framework.
