Optimal firms' mix in oligopoly with twofold environmental externality

Delbono, Flavio; Lambertini, Luca - 2014

We charaterise the socially optimal mix of firms in an oligopoly with both profit-seeking and labour-managed firms. The policy maker faces a twofold externality: (i) production entails the exploitation of a common pool natural resource and (ii) production/consumption pollutes the environment. We...

The environmental impact of Bertrand and Cournot duopolies : a cautionary note

Lambertini, Luca; Tampieri, Alessandro - 2012

We compare a Bertrand with a Cournot duopoly in a setting where production is polluting and exploits natural resources, and firms bear convex production costs. We adopt Dastidar's (1995) approach, yielding a continuum of Bertrand-Nash equilibria ranging above marginal cost pricing also, to show...

Green consumers, greenwashing and the misperception of environmental quality

Lambertini, Luca; Pignataro, Giuseppe; Tampieri, Alessandro - 2014

In this paper we analyse a setup where consumers are heterogeneous in the perception of environmental quality. The equilibrium is verified in a setting with horizontal and vertical (green) differentiation. Profits are increasing in the misperception of quality, while, the investment in green...
