520 $a This dissertation is comprised of three studies that examine strategic and structural barriers to entry. The first two studies investigate strategic actions that incumbent firms use to deter potential entrants. The third study investigates the effect of a structural barrier to entry on entrepreneurship.
520 $a The first study shows that from 2001 to 2007 incumbent U.S. cable TV systems timed their upgrades so as to deter potential entry by city-owned enterprises. The study accomplishes this in two steps. First, a hazard model is used to show that when the incumbent is based in a city that poses a more severe entry threat, the incumbent upgrades earlier than it would if the threat were less severe. Second, I show that upgrades do not occur for reasons related to demand; conditional on upgrade, incumbent systems based in more threatening cities are less likely to offer services enabled by the upgrade. The study also shows that incumbent firms respond more aggressively to potential city entry than to potential private firm entry.
520 $a The second study provides evidence that incumbent cable TV systems use low prices to deter certain types of potential entrants. Consistent with limit pricing theory, incumbent systems use price to deter entry when informational asymmetries exist between the potential entrant and incumbent. Evidence of entry deterrence comes from non-monotonic price changes in response to changes in entry probability.
520 $a The third study, co-authored with Aaron K. Chatterji, examines the role of credit cards in influencing entrepreneurial activity. We utilize a natural experiment, the U.S. Supreme Court's 1978 Marquette decision which raised the maximum interest rates that credit card companies could legally charge, to explore the impact of credit card financing on entrepreneurship. Using self employment as a measure of entrepreneurship, we use survey data from 1971-1985 to show that increases in maximum credit card rates following the Marquette decision led to increases in self employment among African Americans.
