Abstract

We consider a cooperative advertising channel consisting of a manufacturer selling its product through a retailer in competition with another independent retailer. The manufacturer subsidizes its retailer's advertising only when a certain threshold is positive. Moreover, the manufacturer's support for its retailer is higher under competition than in its absence.
