Endogenous Mergers and Leadership Acquisition in Cournot Oligopolies

Ferrarese, Walter - 2017

I set up an endogenous merger model in which, whenever fi rms agree to join in a coalition, the new entity acquires the … leadership in a symmetric Cournot oligopoly. I first explore the case of a single merger and show that, despite being such merger … coalition or an n - 1-fi rm coalition. I then allow for multiple coalitions and show that merger waves often occur as a fi rms …

Passive backward acquisitions and downstream collusion

Shekhar, Shiva; Thomes, Tim Paul - 2020

We investigate the effects of passive backward acquisitions in their efficient upstream supplier on downstream firms' ability to collude in a dynamic game of price competition with homogeneous goods. We find that passive backward acquisitions impede downstream collusion. The main driver of our...

The Utility Competition, Price Competition and Quantity Competition

Chen, Linfeng - 2019

We propose a framework of utility competition (UC), and we provide the intuition why price competition (PC), quantity competition (QC) and UC differ, and prove it by using a nonlinear demand system. If the network externality is positive, then PC is the most efficient with the lowest equilibrium...

Cournot Platform Competition

Adachi, Takanori - 2020

Firms in traditional markets often compete in output à la Cournot. In this paper, we consider Cournot competition between platforms in a two-sided market. We find that the markup and markdown terms are distorted toward zero for greater levels of platform competition and for greater levels of...

R&D Collaboration Networks in Mixed Oligopoly

Zikos, Vasileios - 2008

We develop a model of endogenous network formation in order to examine the incentives for R&D collaboration in a mixed oligopoly. Our analysis reveals that the complete network, where each firm collaborates with all others, is uniquely stable, industry-profit maximizing and efficient. This...

Exit in Duopoly with Asymmetric Market Shares Under Jump-Diffusion Uncertainty

Boyarchenko, Nina - 2009

This paper examines a declining duopoly, where firms must choose when to exit from the market. The exogenous shock in the industry follows an exponential jump-diffusion process. We find Markov-perfect equilibria in firms' exit strategies. With small asymmetry in the firm-specific parameters,...

Uncertainty in Spatial Duopoly with Possibly Asymmetric Distributions : A State Space Approach

Meagher, Kieron J. - 2008

In spatial competition iuml;B01rms are likely to be uncertain about consumer locations when launching products either because of shifting demographics or of asymmetric information about preferences. Realistically distributions of consumer locations should be allowed to vary over states and need...
