Capacity choices and price competition in experimental markets
Anderhub, Vital; Güth, Werner; Kamecke, Ulrich; … - 2001
In the heterogeneous experimental oligopoly markets of this paper, sellers first choose capacities and then prices. In … setting behavior is in general consistent with the theory. Capacities converge above the Cournot level. Sellers rarely manage …

Stationary equilibria in discounted stochastic games with weakly interacting players
Horst, Ulrich - 2002
We give sufficient conditions for a non-zero sum discounted stochastic game with compact and convex action spaces and with norm-continuous transition probabilities, but with possibly unbounded state space to have a N ash equilibrium in homogeneous Markov strategies that depends in a Lipsehitz...

Evolutionary dynamics on infinite strategy spaces
Oechssler, Joerg; Riedel, Frank - 1998
. Finally, we apply this general theory to a number of applications like the Nash demand game, the War of Attrition, Cournot and … Bertrand oligopoly games, and mixed strategies. -- replicator dynamics ; evolutionary stability ; continuous strategy spaces … ; oligopoly …

Divisionalization in contests
Huck, Steffen; Konrad, Kai A.; Müller, Wieland - 2000
To be represented by more than one contestant in a contest has advantages and disadvantages. This paper determines the conditions under which it is favorable to send several agents into the contest. -- contests ; Divisionalization ; delegation

The relevance of equal splits : on a behavioral discontinuity in ultimatum games
Güth, Werner; Huck, Steffen; Müller, Wieland - 1998
The findings on the ultimatum game are considered as belonging to the most robust experimental results. In this paper we present a slightly altered version of the mini ultimatum game of Bolton and Zwick (1995). Whereas in the latter exactly equal splits were feasible in our games these were...
