Not So Demanding: Demand Structure and Firm Behavior (2017, unknown): “7Zhelobodko et al. (2012) show that variable marginal costs make little difference to the properties of models with homogeneous firms.”
Monopolistic Competition and Optimum Product Diversity under Firm Heterogeneity (2019, background): “The exposition for consumer demand closely follows Zhelobodko et al. (2012) which works with a similar setting and builds on work by Vives (2001).”
Restoring the Product Variety and Pro-Competitive Gains from Trade with Heterogeneous Firms and Bounded Productivity (2014, background): “…separable utility function introduced by Krugman (1979), possibly with an explicit functional form for the sub-utility from each variety.6 Zhelobodko et al (2012), Kichko et al (2013) and Dhingra and Morrow (2016) consider a broader class of additively separable functions than Krugman…”
Product Mix and Firm Productivity Responses to Trade Competition (2020, background): “…often with different terminologies (indicated in quotes): Arkolakis et al. (2018), “log concave in log prices”; Mrazova and Neary (2017), “log convex”; Zhelobodko et al. (2012), “increasing relative love of variety”; Bertoletti and Epifani (2014), “decreasing elasticity of substitution”; and…”
Optimal Spatial Policies, Geography, and Sorting* (2018, unknown): “In that case, the entry and bilateral pricing decisions would be inefficient (Zhelobodko et al., 2012).”
Monopolistic Competition when Income Matters (2017, unknown): “Its free entry equilibrium can be summarized as follows: pe − c pe = r qe L , ne = ELr (qe/L) F and qe = F [1− r (qe/L)] cr (qe/L) , (8) where r(x) = −u′′(x)x/u′(x) is what Zhelobodko et al. (2012) call the “relative love for variety.””
