Competitive Effects of Vertical Restraints and Promotional Activity COMPETITIVE EFFECTS OF VERTICAL RESTRAINTS AND PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kirk W. Kerr, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Howard P.Marvel, Adviser James Peck Adviser Matthew S. Lewis Graduate Program in Economics ABSTRACT This dissertation empirically analyzes firm distribution and promotion strate- gies. Chapter 2 examines the distribution of products through exclusive territory arrangements by developing a model in which manufacturers, producing for uncertain retail demand, utilize exclusive territories to ensure that all demand states, and retailers serving particular demand states, are served. Here exclusive territories result in higher prices, greater consumption, and the entry of small retailers such as convenience and drug stores to the retail market. Analyzing a natural experiment afforded by Indiana’s legalization of exclusive territories in beer distribution, I estimate the effect of exclusive territories on price and con- sumption using a difference-in-differences model. I find that the legalization of exclusive territories in Indiana results in no change in prices or consumption. I also analyze a unique dataset of all licensed beer sellers in Indiana and find that exclusive territories did not cause significant entry by convenience or drug stores. In Chapter 3, I argue that retail promotions arranged by manufacturers offer researchers a window into the competitive interactions of oligopolistic manufac- turers. Utilizing scanner data on sales and promotions at a major grocery store, I estimate the long-term effect of promotions on the sales of leading brands in 10 consumer packaged-goods categories. By testing the sales time series for unit ii roots, I find that promotions may have long-term effects on the sales of several brands in each category. By estimating the persistent impact of a brand’s own promotions and the impact of competitors’ promotions, I find that in some cases promotions have persistent positive impacts on sales, but these effects are small and greatly diminished by competitor promotions. The final chapter utilizes retail promotions and prices to analyze the com- petitive interactions of leading manufacturers in 10 consumer packaged-good categories. Variables on competitor activity in other shared markets are in- cluded in reaction functions to evaluate whether firms respond across as well as within markets. Reactions to out of market promotions and price changes are small or zero, indicating that firms do not respond across markets. iii c Copyright by Kirk W. Kerr 2008 To Kathy, who believed in me when I did not v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to thank my advisor, Howard Marvel, for his constant intellectual sup- port and patience. I am particularly grateful to him for helping me form general ideas about economics into more precise research questions. It was his intro- duction to Industrial Organization and Antitrust Economics that inspired my interest in the field, and his guidance as an advisor that has led to completion of this research project. He has provided the intellectual push to improve and refine my ideas that is necessary for the completion of any research project. I would like to thank Matt Lewis for his help and insight into empirical Industrial Organization. After teaching one of the most interesting classes I have ever taken, he has helped me to understand how to conduct empirical research. Many thanks to James Peck, for his patience in helping me to learn Game Theory, a topic of great importance in this field, and great difficulty to me. The entire faculty and staff of the Ohio State University Economics Depart- ment deserve a great deal of praise in helping me negotiate the graduate pro- gram. I would like to especially mention our Director of Graduate Studies, Hajime Miyazaki, a tireless advocate for Economics Graduate students. I would like to thank Ana Shook for her constant good humor and encouragement and vi John-David Slaughter for ensuring that the Department and its computers op- erate smoothly. I wish to thank Joseph Haslag of the University of Missouri. Without his example and encouragement, I would not have pursued my graduate studies in Economics. Also, Michael Podgursky, who first exposed me to economic re- search. I have many friends who have made the path to completion brighter. Leonard Kiefer, Karl Meeusen, Mark Longbrake, Kate Snipes, and Carlos Alpizar made surviving the difficult first year possible. Nels Christensen, for our many discus- sions about life and Economics, and for Starbucks runs. Kathleen Deloughery and Jennifer Shand Pitzer, for good humor in the computer lab. I wish to make special mention of Tom Dolan, who befriended me soon after I arrived in Columbus. Tom has offered advice, perspective, and friendship throughout my time at Ohio State. I thank my parents, Wendell and Debra Kerr, for supporting me through the difficult ordeal of graduate school. Graduate School has been full of chal- lenges and they have supported every step of the way, building me up after each disappointment. They have helped me remember why I started and given me the confidence that I could finish. Lastly, I wish to thank my wife, Kathy. She has provided the encouragement and example that I needed to complete this research. vii VITA October 10, 1977 . Born - Granada Hills, CA 2001 . B.S.

  • Companies That Do Test on Animals
    COMPANIES THAT DO TEST ON ANIMALS Frequently Asked Questions Why are these companies included on the 'Do Test' list? The following companies manufacture products that ARE tested on animals. Those marked with a are currently observing a moratorium (i.e., current suspension of) on animal testing. Please encourage them to announce a permanent ban. Listed in parentheses are examples of products manufactured by either the company listed or, if applicable, its parent company. For a complete listing of products manufactured by a company on this list, please visit the company's Web site or contact the company directly for more information. Companies on this list may manufacture individual lines of products without animal testing (e.g., Clairol claims that its Herbal Essences line is not animal-tested). They have not, however, eliminated animal testing from their entire line of cosmetics and household products. Similarly, companies on this list may make some products, such as pharmaceuticals, that are required by law to be tested on animals. However, the reason for these companies' inclusion on the list is not the animal testing that they conduct that is required by law, but rather the animal testing (of personal-care and household products) that is not required by law. What can be done about animal tests required by law? Although animal testing of pharmaceuticals and certain chemicals is still mandated by law, the arguments against using animals in cosmetics testing are still valid when applied to the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. These industries are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, respectively, and it is the responsibility of the companies that kill animals in order to bring their products to market to convince the regulatory agencies that there is a better way to determine product safety.

  • Dove Packaging Mucell Technology
    22 April 2014 ZOTEFOAMS plc ("Zotefoams" or "the Company") Unilever to use Zotefoams’s MuCell® Extrusion technology for its Dove Body Wash bottles in Europe, saving up to 275 tonnes of plastic a year Zotefoams, a world leader in cellular material technology, is pleased to note today’s announcement by Unilever that Unilever’s Dove Body Wash bottles will contain 15% less plastic as a result of a breakthrough packaging technology based on Zotefoams’s MuCell Extrusion microcellular technology. The full text of Unilever’s announcement follows: UNILEVER LAUNCHES BREAKTHROUGH PACKAGING TECHNOLOGY THAT USES 15% LESS PLASTIC Newly developed MuCell® Technology will first feature in Dove Body Wash bottles in Europe, saving up to 275 tonnes of plastic a year London/Rotterdam, 22 April 2014. Dove Body Wash bottles will contain at a minimum 15% less plastic as a result of a newly developed packaging technology launched by Unilever today. Unilever intends to widen the availability of this technology to be used more broadly across the industry. The new technology represents another substantial contribution to the target set out in the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan to halve waste footprint by 2020. The MuCell ® Technology for Extrusion Blow Moulding (EBM) was created in close collaboration with two of Unilever’s global packaging suppliers, Alpla and MuCell Extrusion. It represents a breakthrough in bottle technology: by using gas-injection to create gas bubbles in the middle layer of the bottle wall, it reduces the density of the bottle and the amount of plastic required. The technology will be deployed first in Europe across the Dove Body Wash range, before rolling the technology out.
