Our first result is that export tariffs are strategic complements and that for poor harvests equilibrium …

The more the merrier? : on the optimality of market size restrictions
Negenborn, Colin von - 2019 - This draft: September 10, 2019

We conduct a series of Cournot duopoly market experiments with a high number of repetitions and fixed matching. Our treatments include markets with (a) complete cost symmetry and complete information, (b) slight cost asymmetry and complete information, and (c) varying cost asymmetries and...

Missing tariffs
