Abstract
This paper empirically investigates whether changes in product market competition affect
firm boundaries. Exploiting regulation-induced shocks to entry barriers and differences in regulation
enforcement across cities to obtain exogenous variation in competition, we establish a
negative causal effect of competition (through reduced entry barriers and a larger number of
rival firms) on vertical integration in the setting of the Spanish local television industry between
1995 and 2002.
