  Abstract
 
Slotting fees—fixed charges paid by food manufacturers to retailers for access to the retail market—are both increasingly common and increasingly controversial. This note shows how imperfectly competitive retailers and a monopolistic supplier of one good can use “naked” slotting fees—charges imposed on competitive suppliers of other goods—to achieve a vertically integrated multi-good monopoly.
