Abstract:
We study a common agency problem in which two downstream firms, who are
local monopolists and receive private demand signals, offer secret menus of
two-part tariff contracts to their common supplier. While direct
communication is not possible, they may still exchange their information
through signal-contingent menus of vertical contracts. We show that a
perfect Bayesian equilibrium exists in which information is transmitted, and
downstream firms obtain nearly the first-best industry surplus. The use of
both fixed charges and slotting fees is necessary for such a result. Our
results suggest that efficient collusion with market allocation may not
necessitate direct communication.
