报告简介：

Nowadays, subsidy wars among firms for market share frequently happen in markets with network effects. Although such wars are common and costly, research on the subsidy strategies of firms is lacking. We discuss subsidy competition in a duopoly market where the entrant enters the market by subsidizing consumers and the incumbent subsidizes consumers subsequently to maintain its market dominance and maximize its competitive advantage in unit or total subsidy. We show that when the competitive advantage in unit subsidy cost is considered, the incumbent will subsidize consumers after the entrant occupies a certain market share, which is often less than one-fourth. If the competitive advantage in total subsidy cost is considered, then the optimal market share point at which the incumbent starts to subsidize consumers increases with the total subsidy of the entrant. The incumbent cannot keep its market share advantage with less total subsidy when the total subsidy of the entrant exceeds a threshold. The above results hold in general when the firms’ products are differentiated vertically or the horizontal difference between products is small compared to network effects.
