| Title: | Collective Reputation, Entry and Minimum Safety Standard |
| Authors: | Rouviere, Elodie
Soubeyran, Raphael |
| Keywords: | Collective Reputation
Entry
Minimum Quality Standard |
| Issue Date: | 2008 |
| Abstract: | This article deals with the issue of
entry into an industry where firms share a collective
reputation. First, we show that free entry
is not socially optimal; there is a need for
regulation through the imposition of a minimum
quality standard. Second, we argue that
a minimum quality standard can induce firms
to enter the market. Contrary to conventional
wisdom, a minimum quality standard should
not always be considered as a barrier to entry. |
