“…The implementation of an internal market using transfer pricing is of particular interest in cases involving the decentralized departments of a single company. Relevant theoretical investigations into the coordination between decentralized units with respect to specific investments include, for example, the studies of Edlin and Reichelstein (1995), Baldenius and Reichelstein (1998), Baldenius et al (1999), Baldenius (2000), Wielenberg (2000), Pfeiffer (2002), Sahay (2003), Böckem and Schiller (2004), Johnson (2006), Lengsfeld (2006), as well as Pfeiffer and Wagner (2007). In the majority of these studies, the upstream production unit can reduce the manufacturing costs and the downstream marketing unit can increase the sales revenue by making specific investments.…”
