Collusion and research joint ventures
Miyagiwa, Kaz - 2007
We examine whether cooperation in R&D leads to product market collusion. Suppose that firms engage in a stochastic R&D race while maintaining the collusive equilibrium in a repeated-game framework. Innovation under competitive R&D creates inter-firm asymmetries, which destabilizes the collusive...

The profitable supression of inventions: Technology choice and entry deterrence
Creane, Anthony; Miyagiwa, Kaz - 2007
AT&T was known for both funding a world-class research lab and delaying deployment of useful innovations from the lab. To explain this behavior we consider a model with an incumbent facing a potential entrant. The incumbent can choose from two technologies for production: old and new. The...

By deriving linear demand from a representative consumer's utility and focusing on the … and complementarity for price discrimination to improve social welfare. In particular, we show that price discrimination … can improve social welfare if firms' brands are substitutes in a market where the discriminatory price is higher and …

Multi-market competition, R&D, and welfare in oligopoly
Kawasaki, Akio; Lin, Ming Hsin; Matsushima, Noriaki - 2010
We investigate a multi-market Cournot model with strategic process R&D investments wherein a multi-market monopolist meets entrants that enter one of the markets. We find that entry can enhance the total R&D expenditure of the incumbent firm. That is, entry can stimulate R&D effort. Moreover,...

Demand uncertainty, product differentiation, and entry timing under spatial competition
Ebina, Takeshi; Matsushima, Noriaki; Nishide, Katsumasa - 2017
We investigate the entry timing and location decisions under market-size uncertainty with Brownian motions in a continuous-time spatial competition duopoly model a la d'Aspremont et al. (1979). Under a sequential equilibrium, the threshold of the follower non-monotonically increases in...
