Abstract

Abstract A firm may have an incentive to encourage competition and/or efficiency in an “aftermarket” that is vertically linked to a “foremarket” in which it participates. I describe a strong form of this potential incentive, and then explore how it is weakened in plausible circumstances. Some applications to net neutrality are described.
