In our model, autarky quality is directly proportional to the willingness to pay for quality and home market size, and inversely proportional to the cost of quality. We formalize strategically interacting firms, and identify the context in which a low-quality producer can lead, driving high-quality producers out of the market despite the existence of customers willing to pay for higher quality. We discuss the feasibility of this ‘predatory strategy’ by an emerging country. It is more likely in contexts where the emerging exporter is much larger. date: 2014-06 date_type: published publisher: TSE Working Paper official_url: http://tse-fr.eu/pub/28350 faculty: tse divisions: tse language: en has_fulltext: TRUE view_date_year: 2014 full_text_status: public monograph_type: working_paper series: TSE Working Paper volume: 14-505 place_of_pub: Toulouse pages: 20 institution: Université Toulouse 1 Capitole department: Toulouse school of economics book_title: TSE Working Paper oai_identifier: oai:tse-fr.eu:28350 harvester_local_overwrite: oai_set harvester_local_overwrite: department harvester_local_overwrite: faculty harvester_local_overwrite: site harvester_local_overwrite: place_of_pub harvester_local_overwrite: pages harvester_local_overwrite: institution harvester_local_overwrite: creators_idrefppn harvester_local_overwrite: creators_halaffid harvester_local_overwrite: pending harvester_local_overwrite: creators_id harvester_local_overwrite: creators_affiliation oai_lastmod: 2024-01-22T09:36:00Z oai_set: tse oai_set: ut1c site: ut1 citation: Bernard, Christophe, Calmette, Marie-Françoise , Kilkenny, Maureen, Loustalan, Catherine and Pechoux, Isabelle (2014) Quality in Open Markets: How Larger Leads to Less.
