| Beschreibung: | Understanding of the functioning of markets and, in particular, determinants of market outcomes is crucial for effective competition policy and regulation. The research presented in this thesis is concerned with distinct aspects of competition economics. Chapter 1 analyzes how imperfect information about consumer preferences relates to the stability of tacit collusion in a classical setup. Chapter 2 and 3 depart from classical assumptions about consumer behavior by incorporating psychologically well-founded behavioral assumptions. Chapter 2 studies how focused thinking (Kőszegi and Szeidl, 2013) affects the design of supply and service contracts in different competitive environments. Chapter 3 investigates how self-deception (Brunnermeier and Parker, 2005) about potentially negative consequences of purchasing behavior on others affects competition of firms, which are differentiated with respect to whether their production causes negative externalities. Thereby, this thesis contributes to the applied theoretical literature on competition economics by providing new insights. | |||||||
