Estimating Discrete-Choice Models of Product Differentiation

Steven Berry · 1 Jan 1994

The primary methodology is to assume that demand can be described by a discrete-choice model and that prices are endogenously determined by price-setting firms. In contrast to some previous empirical work, the techniques explicitly allow for the…

Standardization, Compatibility, and Innovation

Joseph Farrell, Garth Saloner · 1 Jan 1985

There are often benefits to consumers and to firms from standardization of a product. We examine whether these standardization benefits can trap an industry in an obsolete or inferior standard when there is a better alternative available. With complete information and identical preferences among firms the answer is no; but when information is incomplete this…
