The product differentiation hypothesis for corporate trade credit
Article Abstract:
The product differentiation hypothesis suggest an inverse relation between profit margin and trade credit in the event of an adjustment made for a minor disturbance in cost. A manager maintains revenue for price elastic demand by moderating the price increase and increases trade credit, which serves to maintain revenue by encouraging product demand.

These are influenced by market competition, and the relation between finished goods inventories (FGIs) and the market-power of firms is expected to be negative.
