On the Irrelevance of Input Prices for Make-or-Buy Decisions Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics David E. M Sappington
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
This paper demonstrates that input prices need not reflect the costs of an efficient incumbent supplier in order to induce entrants to implement efficient make-or-buy decisions. Because of strategic downstream considerations, entrants may always undertake efficient make-or-buy decisions, regardless of the prices at which they are authorized to buy key inputs from incumbent suppliers.
