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 …

Electricity restructuring has created the opportunity for producers to exercise market power. Oligopolists increase price by distorting output decisions, causing cross-firm production inefficiencies. This study estimates the environmental implications of production inefficiencies attributed to...
