This paper studies a monopolist firm selling a fixed capacity. The firm sets a price before demand uncertainty is resolved. Speculators may enter the market purely with the intention of resale, which can be profitable if demand turns out to be high. Consumers may strategically choose when to...

Backward induction is a widely accepted principle for predicting behavior in sequential games. In the classic example of the "centipede game'', however, players frequently violate this principle. An alternative is a dynamic level-k model, where players choose a rule from a rule hierarchy. The...

We consider a supply chain with a single supplier and two retailers. The retailers choose their orders strategically and if their orders exceed the supplier's capacity, quantities are allocated proportionally to the orders. We experimentally study the capacity allocation game using subjects...

Game theoretic models require strong informational assumptions that may not hold in operations applications. In such settings, how do uninformed players behave? We take a first step towards addressing this question by conducting a controlled human subject experiment. We focus on a simple...
