This paper analyses dynamic pricing in markets with network externalities. Network externalities imply demand inertia, because the size of a network increases the usefulness of the product for consumers. Since past sales increase current demand, firms have an incentive to set low introductory...

This paper represents one of the first analyses of exchange rate pass-through in a dynamic context. It explores the impact of exchange rate fluctuations in a duopoly where firms interact over an indifinite period of time.

This paper identifies a new mechanism through which value added taxes may influence the degree of competition in oligapolistic markets. The analysis is based on an oligopoly in which firms interact over an indefinite period of time and hence tacitly collude.

In this study we investigate the impact of competition on markets for non-durable goods where intertemporal price discrimination is possible. We develop a simple model of different potential scenarios for intertemporal price discrimination and implement it in a laboratory experiment. We compare...

We focus on a relatively neglected area of the tax-compliance literature in economics, the behaviour of firms. We examine the impact of alternative audit rules on receipts from a tax on profits in the context of strategic interdependence of firms. In the market firms may compete in terms of...

Firms are usually better informed than tax authorities about market conditions and the potential profits of competitors. They may try to exploit this situation by under-reporting their own taxable profits. The tax authority could offset firms' informational advantage by adopting "smarter" audit...
