AbstractIn vertical product differentiation with a stochastic research technology, firms should target their research at different quality levels for efficiency. In a natural monopoly where the top firm finds it most profitable to sell to the whole market, the incentives for risk-taking and for firms to differentiate their targeted qualities are optimal. In a natural oligopoly (which results when there is sufficient dispersion of tastes), the relationship between a firm's payoff and its quality improvement over other firms is weakened. This diminishes the firms' incentives to differentiate and the targeted qualities are too low and too close together. © Elsevier Science B.V.
