Book Description
The dissertation comprises two chapters in empirical industrial organization with a focus on market structure, competition, and the organizational form of firms. The first chapter studies the determinants of the market structure in the lodging industry where firms are heterogeneous in their quality types. In particular, I develop and estimate a dynamic, structural model of entry and exit to analyze the quality mix of hotels across geographic markets. I find that the entry costs, fixed costs, and competition pattern are important determinants of the quality mix. I use the framework to examine the impact of land use regulation on the quality mix of hotels in the lodging industry. The results suggest that land use regulation asymmetrically increases the sunk entry cost of high-quality hotels and shifts the quality mix of hotels to the low-end. The previous literature points out that land use regulation has anticompetitive effects and hence affects the utilities of consumers. My findings imply that land use regulation further affects consumers through its impact on the quality choice of firms.The second chapter discusses the impact of organizational form on the quality decisions of firms. I estimate the causal impact with the data of four leading brands in the fast-food industry. Fast-food chains have both franchised and company-owned stores. Since the two types of stores face different agency problems (free-riding of franchisees and shirking by store managers), it is unclear which one would offer products with superior quality. After controlling for market-level heterogeneity and endogenizing the organizational forms, I find that company-owned stores generally provide products and services of inferior quality to franchised ones. Additionally, I analyze how monitoring and the degree of repeat customers together affect quality in addition to organizational forms.
