Abstract
We analyze normal form games where a player has to pay a price to a supplier in order to play a specification. Our focus is on sup- plier competition, arising from the fact that distinct suppliers supply different players, and possibly the different actions of the same player. With private contracts, where a player only observes the prices quoted by his own suppliers, the set of equilibrium distribution over player actions coincides with the set of equilibrium distribution when all ac- tions are supplied competitively, at cost. With public contracts, the two distributions differ dramatically even in simple games.
