We present a new version of the overtaking criterion, which we call generalized time-invariant overtaking. The generalized time-invariant overtaking criterion (on the space of infinite utility streams) is defined by extending proliferating sequences of complete and transitive binary relations...

Competitive aggressiveness is analyzed in a simple spatial oligopolistic competition model, where each one of two firms supplies two connected market segments, one captive the other contested. To begin with, firms are simply assumed to maximize profit subject to two constraints, one related to...

The formulation of the problem of justice among generations as the problem of finding an ordering of infinite utility streams is examined within the social welfare functional approach to social choice. This formulation usually presumes a double reduction, not only the classical welfarist...

In applying the common agency framework to the context of an oligopolistic industry, we want to go beyond the classical dichotomy between Cournot and Bertrand competition. We define two games, the oligopolistic game and the corresponding concept of oligopolistic equilibrium, and an associated...

In order to formalize the variety of oligopolistic competition regimes, we adopt an approach (pioneered by Shubik, 1959) where firms behave strategically both in price and quantity. The corresponding concept of oligopolistic equilibrium allows for a parameterized continuum of regimes with...
