요약In this dissertation, I study two questions related to contracting between firms, focusing on their strategic formation and effects on product offerings, firm profitability, prices, and consumer welfare.In the first chapter, I study the welfare impact of trade allowances, which are upfront payments from manufacturers to retailers before their products are placed on shelves. Trade allowances potentially motivate stores to offer more products by sharing costs with manufacturers (the "expansion effect''), benefiting consumers. However, they also lead stores to exclude some high-quality, low-cost products that pay low trade allowances (the "distortion effect''), which harms consumers. To quantify this trade-off, I construct a model, in which stores decide on both assortments and prices based on offers from manufacturers. I use stores' revealed preferences to construct moment inequalities and quantify the magnitude of trade allowances. My estimates imply that in the U.S. yogurt market, trade allowances account for 14.8% of an average store's wholesale payments. Counterfactual analysis shows that trade allowances increase the number of products offered by 2.4% but reduce consumer surplus by 1.0%. This finding suggests that the costs of distortion outweigh the benefits of assortment expansion.In the second chapter, I study exclusive contracts in the video streaming market. Streaming services can use exclusive contracts to differentiate content offerings and soften competition, while studios may leverage these contracts to negotiate higher license fees from streaming services. I investigate who gains and who loses from such contracts. I develop and estimate a structural model that incorporates bilateral negotiations between streaming services and studios, streaming services setting subscription prices, and consumer demand for subscriptions and titles. The findings reveal that the effect of exclusive contracts varies significantly across firms. Streaming services that lack in-house content (like Hulu) gain from exclusive contracts, while those with extensive in-house content (like Netflix) see minimal or even negative effects. For studios, exclusive contracts benefit small studios with weak bargaining power but harm large ones with strong bargaining power. Consumers lose from exclusive contracts due to reduced title distribution and higher subscription prices.

■520    ▼aIn  this  dissertation,  I  study  two  questions  related  to  contracting  between  firms,  focusing  on  their  strategic  formation  and  effects  on  product  offerings,  firm  profitability,  prices,  and  consumer  welfare.In  the  first  chapter,  I  study  the  welfare  impact  of  trade  allowances,  which  are  upfront  payments  from  manufacturers  to  retailers  before  their  products  are  placed  on  shelves.  Trade  allowances  potentially  motivate  stores  to  offer  more  products  by  sharing  costs  with  manufacturers  (the  "expansion  effect''),  benefiting  consumers.  However,  they  also  lead  stores  to  exclude  some  high-quality,  low-cost  products  that  pay  low  trade  allowances  (the  "distortion  effect''),  which  harms  consumers.  To  quantify  this  trade-off,  I  construct  a  model,  in  which  stores  decide  on  both  assortments  and  prices  based  on  offers  from  manufacturers.  I  use  stores'  revealed  preferences  to  construct  moment  inequalities  and  quantify  the  magnitude  of  trade  allowances.  My  estimates  imply  that  in  the  U.S.  yogurt  market,  trade  allowances  account  for  14.8%  of  an  average  store's  wholesale  payments.  Counterfactual  analysis  shows  that  trade  allowances  increase  the  number  of  products  offered  by  2.4%  but  reduce  consumer  surplus  by  1.0%.  This  finding  suggests  that  the  costs  of  distortion  outweigh  the  benefits  of  assortment  expansion.In  the  second  chapter,  I  study  exclusive  contracts  in  the  video  streaming  market.  Streaming  services  can  use  exclusive  contracts  to  differentiate  content  offerings  and  soften  competition,  while  studios  may  leverage  these  contracts  to  negotiate  higher  license  fees  from  streaming  services.  I  investigate  who  gains  and  who  loses  from  such  contracts.  I  develop  and  estimate  a  structural  model  that  incorporates  bilateral  negotiations  between  streaming  services  and  studios,  streaming  services  setting  subscription  prices,  and  consumer  demand  for  subscriptions  and  titles.  The  findings  reveal  that  the  effect  of  exclusive  contracts  varies  significantly  across  firms.  Streaming  services  that  lack  in-house  content  (like  Hulu)  gain  from  exclusive  contracts,  while  those  with  extensive  in-house  content  (like  Netflix)  see  minimal  or  even  negative  effects.  For  studios,  exclusive  contracts  benefit  small  studios  with  weak  bargaining  power  but  harm  large  ones  with  strong  bargaining  power.  Consumers  lose  from  exclusive  contracts  due  to  reduced  title  distribution  and  higher  subscription  prices.
