It is shown that risk-sharing examined in Rothschild and Stiglitz (1976) has a perfect Nash equilibrium, which is unique, incentive-efficient and continuous in all parameters of the economy. Competition in individual markets of a perfectly competitive economy is generally imperfect and allows...

Under the conditions conjectured by Rothschild and Stiglitz (1976) as leading to extreme market failure, we show the existence of a unique incentive-efficient equilibrium. In terms of its sensitivity to the structure of the buyer population, this equilibrium may be flexible or rigid. Closed-form...

Inter-firm rivalry and its impact on the stationarity of the economy are formalized in terms of selective efficiency that extends the Pareto and the Caldor-Hicks efficiency comparisons. Nash equilibrium of agents' decision-making is shown to be sufficient for an economy to be in equilibrium....

Under the conditions conjectured by Rothschild and Stiglitz (1976)as leading to market failure, we demonstrate the existence of a uniqueequilibrium in a risk-sharing economy with adverse selection. This equilibrium may be separating or partially pooling: in an economy withthree types, for...

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) intends to create the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) as a single market, to be completed by 2020. The single market will boost the competition in both ASEAN's internal and external markets, which will spur innovation. Creative innovation will...

This paper focuses on oligopolistic markets in which indivisible goods are sold by multiproduct firms to a continuum of homogeneous buyers, with measure normalized to one, who have preferences over bundles of products. Our analysis contributes to the literature on private, delegated agency games...

We propose a general approach to study the differential effects of exogenous shocks in economic models with heterogeneous agents. Our setting applies to models that can be stated as ``competition for market shares'' in a broad sense. Examples that fit our type of structure are ubiquitous in...

In a context of partial fixed-mobile substitution, we analyze fixed-mobile bundling and mobile-to-fixed offloading in a duopoly model in which consumers buy one or two products. A joint purchase discount mitigates fixed-mobile substitutability and consequently reduces 'mobile-only' and...

This article proposes a duopoly model based on a model initially introduced by Shubik and Levitan to analyze the competition based on mobility and data volume between fixed and mobile broadband access. By the description of asymmetrical characteristics of fixed and mobile broadband offers and...
