Minerva G.A. (2017) Integration versus Outsourcing with Vertical Linkages. Development Studies Working Papers
N. 411, Centro Studi Luca d’Agliano.
Abstract: In the model by Grossman and Helpman (2002) no industry has both vertically integrated and specialized producers
in equilibrium. I generalize their model by assuming that final goods producers (irrespective of whether they are vertically integrated
with the upstream stage or specialized in the downstream stage only) need a basket of differentiated commodities, in addition to labor, as a fixed requirement for production. I then show the existence of an equilibrium populated simultaneously by vertically integrated and disintegrated firms.
