Strict quotas or tariffs? Implications for product quality and consumer welfare in differentiated product supply chains
2019, Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation ReviewCitation Excerpt :However, it is clear that quality can be a strategic variable in firms’ decision-making and also in terms of consumers differentiating among the firms (cf. Jacobson and Aaker, 1987; Veldman and Gaalman, 2014; Nagurney et al., 2018). There have also been empirical studies conducted to assess the interrelationships between a spectrum of trade policies and product quality as in cheese (cf. Macieira and Grant, 2014), the steel industry (Boorstein and Feenstra, 1991), the footwear industry (Aw and Roberts, 1986), and the automobile industry (cf. Feenstra, 1988; Goldberg, 1993). Nevertheless, the existing theoretical literature has been limited in terms of the number of firms considered, as well as the number of demand markets, and has not included general transportation cost functions that include quality.
