摘要

Abstract of the paper

This study constructs a model of anticompetitive exclusive dealing with the presence of the multiple products firm, in which one product is produced by an input as well as license from an outside licensor and the other is only produced by an input. The paper shows that the licensing mode can have crucial ramifications for considering the possibility of anticompetitive exclusive dealing For the royalty licensing, the less the product differentiation or the similar the market size of the two products is, the less possibility of anticompetitive exclusive dealing. However, for the fixed fee licensing, it is more likely to facilitate the anticompetitive exclusive dealing. Assuming the government to maximize the consumer’s welfare there are novel implications for antitrust agencies, where the optimal licensing mode may be irreconcilable between the licensor and the social’s desire. Moreover, the anticompetitive dealing may not be harmful to the consumers’ welfare.
