A number of multiproduct firms participate in the markets for two goods, competing to a number of single-product firms in each market. Although the joint production of cost substitutes is inefficient, participation in both markets yields, under a broad range of conditions, higher profits than participation in only one of them. Inefficient multiproduct firms may be contained in a long-run equilibrium configuration. If such configurations contain integer number of firms — instead of fractions of them — inefficient industry configurations are more likely to be sustained in the long run.
