  • 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.

Datta1* 1 Professor Emeritus, Northern KY University, Highland Heights, KY 41099, USA * Y. Datta, Professor Emeritus, Northern KY University, Highland Heights, KY 41099, USA Received: February 18, 2020 Accepted: February 24, 2020 Online Published: February 27, 2020 doi:10.22158/jepf.v6n1p145 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.22158/jepf.v6n1p145 Abstract This paper follows the path of seven studies (see below). However, it is different in one important respect: it also offers a benefit segmentation profile of the U.S. Toothpaste Market. Porter associates high market share with cost leadership strategy which is based on the idea of competing on a price that is lower than that of the competition. However, customer-perceived quality—not low cost—should be the foundation of competitive strategy, because it is far more vital to long-term competitive position and profitability than any other factor. So, a superior alternative is to offer better quality vs. the competition. In most consumer markets a business seeking market share leadership should try to serve the middle class by competing in the mid-price segment; and offering quality better than that of the competition: at a price somewhat higher, to signify an image of quality, and to ensure that the strategy is both profitable and sustainable in the long run. Quality, however, is a complex concept that consumers generally find difficult to understand.
