In this paper we consider how the degree of risk aversion, and demand/cost uncertainty, influence competition on oligopolistic markets. Under demand uncertainty, the best response strategies (both quantities and prices) are decreasing in risk aversion, but for cost uncertainty, quantities are...

We analyze the quantitative asset-pricing implications of peers' strategic rivalry by embedding oligopolistic competition within an endowment economy. Rivalry intensity increases endogenously as the discount rate rises or expected growth declines, because peers care less about future...

We study the combined effects of revenue and cost uncertainty as well competition on the timing optimization of investments in complementarity inputs for duopoly markets where either spillover-knowledge is allowed or where proprietary-knowledge holds. For some input-sequencing investment...

How does cost uncertainty affect the welfare consequences of an oligopoly? To answer this question, we investigate a … Cournot oligopoly in which firms produce a homogeneous commodity and market entry is feasible. Marginal costs are unknown ex …-up. Furthermore, the welfare loss due to oligopoly tends to increase with uncertainty. …

In the strategic investment under uncertainty literature the trade off between the value of waiting known from single decision maker models and the incentive to preempt competitors is mainly studied in duopoly models. This paper aims at studying competitive investments in new markets where more...

A principal incentivizes a team of agents to work by privately offering them bonuses contingent on team success. We study the principal's optimal incentive scheme that implements work as a unique equilibrium. This scheme leverages rank uncertainty to address strategic uncertainty. Each agent is...
