摘要：With this rule the upstream Örm induces the
retailers to behave as if demand has become less price elastic. As a result, competing
downstream Örms will maximize aggregate total channel proÖt. When downstream
Örms are better informed about demand conditions than the upstream Örm, the
same outcome cannot be achieved by vertical restraints such as resale price mainte-
nance (RPM). Price-dependent proÖt-sharing may also ensure that the downstream
Örms undertake e¢ cient market expanding investments. The model is consistent
with observations from the market for content commodities distributed by mobile
networks.
