Mutually related firms and the rationality of producing nothing

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyze pricing and output decisions of mutually related firms. The study assumes that such firms have complimentary products and considers intra-industry rivalry among them. Results show that firms have the rational choice not to cooperate by producing nothing. This market failure may require state intervention to make firms cooperate and enhance market operational efficiency.
