- Abstract
- Shaked and Sutton (1982) and Gelman and Salop (1983) are best remembered for their neat conclusions: a limited quality or limited capacity is an effective tool to relax competition and facilitate entry in a market. We aim at comparing the respective merits of these two strategic commitments. We claim that capacity limitation is more effective than quality reduction, mainly because it acts directly upon the incumbent to reduce his aggressiveness in the final price competition whereas quality tools works indirectly trough consumer's willingness to pay.
