Book excerpt: The dissertation comprises two chapters in empirical industrial organization with a focus on market structure, competition, and the organizational form of firms. The first chapter studies the determinants of the market structure in the lodging industry where firms are heterogeneous in their quality types. In particular, I develop and estimate a dynamic, structural model of entry and exit to analyze the quality mix of hotels across geographic markets. I find that the entry costs, fixed costs, and competition pattern are important determinants of the quality mix. I use the framework to examine the impact of land use regulation on the quality mix of hotels in the lodging industry. The results suggest that land use regulation asymmetrically increases the sunk entry cost of high-quality hotels and shifts the quality mix of hotels to the low-end. The previous literature points out that land use regulation has anticompetitive effects and hence affects the utilities of consumers. My findings imply that land use regulation further affects consumers through its impact on the quality choice of firms.The second chapter discusses the impact of organizational form on the quality decisions of firms. I estimate the causal impact with the data of four leading brands in the fast-food industry. Fast-food chains have both franchised and company-owned stores. Since the two types of stores face different agency problems (free-riding of franchisees and shirking by store managers), it is unclear which one would offer products with superior quality. After controlling for market-level heterogeneity and endogenizing the organizational forms, I find that company-owned stores generally provide products and services of inferior quality to franchised ones. Additionally, I analyze how monitoring and the degree of repeat customers together affect quality in addition to organizational forms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While particularly dynamic and innovative, the digital and telecommunication industries are found to have a great tendency towards concentration, resulting in strong market power and raising concerns from competition and regulatory authorities. In this study focusing on such network industries, Jean-Marc Zogheib explores the interplay between public policy and firms' strategies by combining various tools of theoretical economic analysis adopted from industrial economics, network economics, and platform economics. Mr. Zogheib's thesis consists of three distinct essays: the first chapter examines how merger policy affects firms' entry strategies, the second chapter shifts the focus to public intervention by considering how the coexistence of private and public players affects competition and investment, while the third chapter investigates the role of privacy in competition between digital platforms and the importance of consumer data in the competitive analysis of mergers. This book clearly illustrates how economics can contribute essential building blocks to the construction of competitive reasoning and how the integration of competition law into economic models extended their collective utility. An important read for lawyers and economists alike. The book was awarded the inaugural Concurrences PhD Award in Economics.

Book excerpt: Regulation of transfer payments alone generally will not induce optimal investment levels and competitive retail prices. The last essay examines settings where input prices are negotiated by industry suppliers, rather than dictated by regulators. It shows that the input buyer may agree to pay a high price for an input because the high price serves to reduce the intensity of retail price competition with the input seller. Full exploitation of retail customers can result. However, retail price regulation, competition among buyers, and product heterogeneity all can limit the extraction of consumer surplus. It also identifies conditions under which input price negotiations will fail to produce a mutually agreeable input price.

I first document improvement of medical quality following two concurrently implemented nationwide policies, and then examine the effects of two separate channels --- competition and price regulation. The two policies implemented are: (1) mandated information disclosure on medical quality through in-center posters; (2) a new price regulation, pay-for-performance payment method, which monetarily punished substandard clinical performance. In a counterfactual where quality competition is shut down, there is a 30% decrease in mean quality compared to when quality competition and pay-for-performance payment are both present, which is evidence that competition is important in driving medical quality. In Chapter 2, I empirically examine how Common Application (CAPP), a platform that standardizes college applications and reduces time cost of additional applications, affects students' applications and colleges' prices. I find that students send out 0.56 (17%) more applications when flagship public universities in their states adopt CAPP and an increase of 10 percentage points in within-state CAPP adoption rate decreases prices of private universities by 9.4%.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is comprised of three chapters in industrial organization, environmental economics and energy economics. In Chapter 2, I study carbon dioxide emission abatement technology for industries participating in the world's biggest emissions market, the European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS). I propose a production and abatement model to motivate the use of emissions as an input in a production function. I build on recent methods of the production function literature and propose an estimator for the production function that is consistent with my model. Using data from the EU ETS and Orbis, I estimate the elasticity of emissions to abatement expenditures for different manufacturing industries. Increasing the share of abatement expenditures of revenues by 1% is expected to reduce emissions by 8% in cement and 67% in chemicals, with other industries between these two extremes. I use the model's implications to translate estimated abatement elasticities to marginal abatement costs at the individual firm level. My findings show enormous differences both within and across industries. My estimates for the 25th, 50th and 75th percentile cement firms are 15, 22 and 36 euro/t respectively. In contrast, these estimates are 22, 48 and 363 euro/t for oil refineries. My findings suggests that, cement, chemicals and power firms are the most likely to decrease emissions as the EU ETS market price rises to levels close to the social cost of carbon.In Chapter 3, I analyze the impact of different policy instruments on the speed of transition to cleaner electricity generation. I develop a non-stationary fully dynamic entry and exit model of power generation. My model includes multiple technologies and hourly spot markets, both key features of the power generation market. I use the calibrated model to analyze the speed of transition away from coal power plants in PJM, the biggest electricity system in the United States. Correcting the negative externality of carbon dioxide emissions requires environmental regulation. My findings highlight the importance of analyzing the full transition path when comparing environmental policy instruments. Policies that lead to similar long-term outcomes induce vastly different transition dynamics. A carbon tax (the efficient instrument) set to $30/ton carbon dioxide is associated with an almost immediate entry of the long-run gas capacity. In contrast, gas entry and coal exit result in a slower and smooth transition. Welfare differences are significant. Both of these instruments improve only marginally on the baseline scenario and do not come close to the improvement possible by the carbon tax.In Chapter 4, I study bidding behavior in the New England frequency regulation market. Since 2015, this product is procured through a multi-dimensional Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) auction. Bidding under a VCG design is simple since truthful bidding is optimal. However, I find that participants bid higher when relative market power increases. This is indirect evidence against truthful bidding. Taking VCG bids as estimates for true marginal cost can be misleading. A combination of a complicated clearing mechanism and low stakes might prevent players to learn the optimal bidding strategy. My results suggest that switching from a uniform price to a VCG auction does not resolve the underlying strategic complexity.
