The evolution of the firm size distribution and nationality of ownership
BARRIOS, Salvador; GOERG, Holger; STROBL, Eric - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 2004

A Remark on the Number of Trading Posts in Strategic Market Games.
Koutsougeras, L.C. - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 1999
In market games the one to one correspondence between commodity types and trading posts would be justified if it were true that the set of equilibria is not affected by the number of trading posts postulated at the ouset of the model. We show that this is not true.
