In this paper, we study an imperfect monitoring model of duopoly under similar settings as in Green and Porter (1984 … cooperative motives. In contrast to Green and Porter (1984), our results show that in a model with learning, breakdown of a cartel …

We consider truthful implementation of the socially efficient allocation in a dynamic private value environment in which agents receive private information over time. We propose a suitable generalization of the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves mechanism, based on the marginal contribution of each agent. In...

We analyze a symmetric n-firm Cournot oligopoly with a heterogeneous population of optimizers and imitators. Imitators mimic the output decision of the most successful firms of the previous round à la Vega-Redondo (1997). Optimizers play a myopic best response to the opponents' previous output....
