The project is funded by ANR and DFG and brings together French and German researchers who work on vertical relationships. One of the objectives of the project is to understand the strategies of firms vertically linked within an industry, in terms of competition or negotiation, and analyze the impact of their strategies on price, variety, and quality of products offered to consumers. Studies include theoretical, empirical and experimental approaches.
