The first series of findings looks at how entry affects advertising. I find that lagged entry of breweries raised advertising; this effect is far more pronounced for mass-producing domestic breweries than for their international counterparts. I project that the opening of ten breweries raised GRPs in an average local market by one hundred units. This is like showing all
possible viewers one extra TV commercial in a given month. In terms of perspective, the noted presence of craft breweries in different markets produced, on average, a 2.8% rise in advertising relative to pre-entry levels. These findings are robust to varying advertising measurements, alternate lags of market entry, as well as to other sources of exogenous
variation that is, instrumental variables. The second set of results examines the profit motivations for advertising. Under craft competition, I find that for any mass-producing brewery the incentives for advertising are more than in the absence of it. Furthermore, I find a positive and noteworthy association between advertising incentives and the degree of craft
Competitiveness by using cross market
variation in profit incentives. This implies that mass-producing brewers raised local TV advertising the most in local markets with more craft entrance. The intuitive sense of this outcome is simple. Before the craft competition, the incumbent decides on promotion for every brand to challenge competing products. However, while the incumbent might wish to
amarkup consequences of the advertising reaction to craft entrance, the intensity of advertising rivalry is less.07 Then I show that most of the upward trend inThis work also connects with the empirical research focused on how demand is affected by advertising.Nine One strand of this research has concentrated on how advertising influences consumer
decisions by means of analytical tools not so broad in scope as demand expansion However, by influencing how consumers react to price changes, my results imply that advertising might inhibit price competition and potentially generate market dominance Based on some of the above mentioned empirical research, my method of analyzing the impact of entrance on
Advertising follows Studies specifically
indicate that diminishing marginal costs explain the persuasive or informational function of mark-downs for the flagship domestic brands. Overall, the significance of my findings is related to the notion that advertising can be employed as a strategic reaction to market entrance and such a response has consequences in terms of market power Correspondent

(2009), Bagwell Evidence of advertising as a strategic reaction to competition, in particular market entry, is rare, on the other hand.Eight Few research examining how mergers and competitiveness affect advertising
exist.Murry (2018) studies intra-brand dealer rivalry in the American automotive sector and demonstrates that higher competition results in reduced advertising both upstream and downstream. According to Dubois and Majewska (2022), mergers have a negative effect on advertising expenditure following a merger, thereby affecting the promotional expenditure in
Pharmaceutical market With regard to the beer
market, Chandra and Weinberg (2018) investigate how variations in local competition influence marketing decisions. Using the 2008 Miller-Coors joint venture, they demonstrate how higher local concentration raises per capita advertising. Though in a descriptive style, Chandra and Weinberg (2018) find in the same work a negative association between local
advertising expenditures and the count of craft brewers. Using reduced-form data and a structural model that lets me grasp profit motives, my study complements their approach in that I show the causal influence of a change in market structure on advertising void too great cannibalization among its own brands. The incumbent suffers more competitive pressure
from competing items when faced with craft entrants, hence the cannibalization issues become less important. This extra pressure causes the incumbent to raise his advertising output The final set of data looks at the consequences of advertising in terms of market power after proving proof of the advertising reaction resulting from market entrance. Although the
Conclusion
demand estimates suggest that the effect of advertising stock on demand expansion is somewhat small, they also reveal that both own and competitor advertising can greatly lower price sensitivity. These findings imply that although advertising may not be very successful in increasing demand in developed sectors like the beer industry, it can nevertheless protect companies from intense price competition by influencing consumer behavior to change.
Breweries can use this to raise their market strength I examine markup evolution using the estimated structural model defined as the price-marginal cost ratio. Over the study period, the sales-weighted average markup stayed very constant; but, market power for highly promoted beer brands shows a different trend. More precisely, the mark-ups for flagship domestic brands rose from Fixing the observed advertising stock at the preentry levels, I show that the
