simple model of symmetric oligopoly where firms select a two dimensional strategy set of price and a non-price variable known … as quality simultaneously. In conclusion, our results show that equilibrium solutions of RPM and APM are distinct. We … circumstances RPM induces more competition or less competition w.r.t the price or non-price dimension. …
