Do firms under relative payoffs maximizing (RPM) behavior always choose a strategy profile that results in tougher … competition compared to firms under absolute payoffs maximizing (APM) behavior? In this paper we will address this issue through a … simple model of symmetric oligopoly where firms select a two dimensional strategy set of price and a non-price variable known …
