Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the interaction between an incumbent firm's financial contract with a bank and its product market decisions in the face of the threat of entry, in a dynamic model. The main results of the paper are: there exists a separating equilibrium with no limit pricing; there are conditions under which the low-cost incumbent repays more to the bank, due to the threat of entry; and there are parameter values for which the bank makes more profits with the threat of entry than without.
