Beck, Jonathan - Abteilung "Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und industrieller … - 2004

I study Cournot competition under incomplete information about demand while assuming that market price must be non-negative for all demand realizations. Although this assumption is very natural, it has only rarely been made in the earlier literature. Yet it has important economic consequences:...

The Impact of Consumer Loss Aversion on Pricing

Heidhues, Paul; Köszegi, Botond - Abteilung "Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und industrieller … - 2004

We develop a model in which a profit-maximizing monopolist with uncertain cost of production sells to loss-averse, yet rational, consumers. We first introduce (portable) techniques for analyzing the demand of such consumers, and then investigate the monopolist's pricing strategy. Compared to...
