Dynamic Oligopoly Pricing with Asymmetric Information : Implications for Horizontal Mergers

Sweeting, Andrew; Tao, Xuezhen; Yao, Xinlu - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

We model differentiated product pricing by firms that possess private information about serially-correlated state variables, such as their marginal costs, and can use prices to signal information to rivals. In a dynamic game, signaling can raise prices significantly above static complete...

Price and Capacity Competition

Acemoglu, Daron - 2006

We study the efficiency of oligopoly equilibria in a model where firms compete over capacities and prices. The … demands across the firms. We first establish the existence of pure strategy subgame perfect equilibria (oligopoly equilibria … oligopoly equilibria of this game can be arbitrarily low. However, if the best oligopoly equilibrium is selected (among multiple …

Dynamic Price Competition with Capacity Constraints

Betancourt, Jose M.; Hortaçsu, Ali; Öry, Aniko; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

We study dynamic price competition between sellers offering differentiated products with limited capacity and a common sales deadline. In every period, firms simultaneously set prices, and a randomly arriving buyer decides whether to purchase a product or leave the market. Given remaining...

Subgame Perfect Implementation with Almost Perfect Information and the Hold-Up Problem

Aghion, Philippe - 2009

The foundations of incomplete contracts have been questioned using or extending the subgame perfect implementation approach of Moore and Repullo (1988). We consider the robustness of subgame perfect implementation to the introduction of small amounts of asymmetric information. We show that...

Estimating Dynamic Games of Oligopolistic Competition : An Experimental Investigation

Salz, Tobias - 2020

We evaluate dynamic oligopoly estimators with laboratory data. Using a stylized en-try/exit game, we estimate …

Impacts of the Clean Air Act on the Power Sector from 1938-1994 : Anticipation and Adaptation

Clay, Karen; Jha, Akshaya; Lewis, Joshua A.; Severnini, … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

The passage of landmark government regulation is often the culmination of evolving social pressure and incremental policy change. During this process, firms may preemptively adjust behavior in anticipation of impending regulation, making it difficult to quantify the overall economic impact of...

Do Mergers and Acquisitions Improve Efficiency? Evidence from Power Plants

Demirer, Mert; Karaduman, Ömer - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

Using rich data on hourly physical productivity and thousands of ownership changes from US power plants, we study the effects of acquisitions on efficiency and underlying mechanisms. We find a 2% average increase in efficiency for acquired plants, beginning five months after acquisitions....

The Shifting Finance of Electricity Generation

Andonov, Aleksandar; Rauh, Joshua - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

Despite the incentives of incumbent domestic listed corporations (DLCs) in the electricity generation industry, private equity, institutional investors, and foreign corporations have played an outsized role in financing the energy transition. These new entrants are twice as likely to create...

Semiparametric Estimation of a Dynamic Game of Incomplete Information

Bajari, Patrick - 2006

Recently, empirical industrial organization economists have proposed estimators for dynamic games of incomplete information. In these models, agents choose from a finite number actions and maximize expected discounted utility in a Markov perfect equilibrium. Previous econometric methods estimate...

Bidder Discounts and Target Premia in Takeovers

Jovanovic, Boyan - 2002

When a takeover is announced, the sum of the stock-market values of the firms involved often falls, and the value of the acquirer almost always does. Does this mean that takeovers do not raise the values of the firms involved? Not necessarily. We set up a model in which the equilibrium number of...
