Technological Progress and the Chamberlin Effect
研究了垄断者投资于降成本技术可能降低产品质量的现象，发现产品种类数量是关键：单一品种时质量下降，两品种时仅高效生产高质量品才出现质量下降。
A monopolist’s incentive to invest in cost‐reducing technological inventions may be detrimental to product quality. In a model with variable cost of quality and heterogeneous consumers there is a possibility of quality reductions when new technology makes larger scale production feasible. The effect on quality depends crucially on the number of varieties produced by the monopolist. If he produces just one variety, quality will be reduced, whereas if he produces two varieties quality reductions only appear for more efficient means of producing the high quality good.
