It is shown that if the upstream sector become more competitive, the effect from markup adjustment by upstream firms, which lowers cost pass-through elasticity, is weakened ceteris paribus, whereas the countervailing effect that arises from the presence of downstream firms' own cost is strengthened. In contrast, cost pass-through elasticity (not the cost pass-through itself) becomes unambiguously lower if the downstream sector becomes more competitive., I am grateful to a Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C) (18K01567) from the Japan Society of the Promotion of Science.}, pages = {1--8}, title = {Hong and Li meet Weyl and Fabinger : Modeling vertical structure by the conduct parameter approach}, year = {2019} }
