Abstract

In this paper, we consider a duopoly model of vertical product differentiation. Firms choose simultanously the quality of the product they sell and then compete in prices simultaneously. We offer the complete characterization of quality choices for this model and thereby give a precise content to the " principle of differentiation " in models of vertical product differentiation.
