We investigate the product positioning decisions of two firms with differential marginal production costs, which enter a market sequentially under a continuous-time duopoly competition. We show that, if the follower firm optimally chooses its entry timing, the leader firm strategically positions...

In this study, we analyze the investment-timing problem and introduce a model of two firms competing for investment preemption, each of which knows in advance the time at which the economic condition that will have an impact on the investment changes. We qualitatively show how two firms...

We investigate the decision of entry timing and product positions under market size uncertainty with Brownian motion for continuous-time spatial duopoly competition. We show the following results. First, the leader is more likely to increase the degree of product differentiation as volatility...

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...
