Abstract

The existing literature about exclusive dealing contracts has focused on cases where an incumbent manufacturer o¤ers exclusive contracts to deter an entry. In contrast, we consider the case where an incumbent distributor o¤ers exclusive dealing contracts to deter an entry. Exclusive dealing contracts by a distributor are less e¤ective. We will show that the outcome of such contracts is quite di¤erent from the outcomes in the traditional literature. If the number of manufacturers is su¢ ciently high, it is impossible to exclude an e¢ cient entry. Furthermore, if we allow two- part tari¤ contracts, the entrant distributor can enter the market for any number of manufacturers.
