Primes

• Conditional Access
  • In economics it is bundling and tying — software and channel bundles, razor-and-blades tying, and the classic coupling of a dominant product with an adjacent one.

    This sourceFirst formal demonstration that tying a desired product to an adjacent one can leverage market power to foreclose competition — the commercial instance of leverage-by-coupling.

    Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract

    Whinston's abstract backs the tying-as-leverage core of the claim - tying a good can leverage market power - but says nothing of bundling, software or channel bundles, or razor-and-blades examples.

    “Here the author reconsiders the leverage hypothesis and argues that tying can indeed serve as a mechanism for leveraging market power.”

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
