It is a very well-known result that in terms of evolutionary stability the long-run outcome of a Cournot oligopoly …. Contrary to Tanaka (1999) we show that the evolutionarily stable price in an asymmetric Cournot oligopoly needs not equal the … order to transform the game with asymmetric firms into a symmetric oligopoly game and then extend Schaffer’s definition …

We introduce a generalized theoretical approach to study imitation and subject it to rigorous experimental testing. In our theoretical analysis we find that the different predictions of previous imitation models are due to different informational assumptions, not to different behavioral rules....

Cournot and Bertrand oligopoly equilibria are usually explained by strategic interactions, e.g., the best … least likely in Cournot oligopoly with homogeneous goods under simultaneous moves, it is still guaranteed under sequential … moves as assumed by Cournot originally. Hence, oligopoly equilibria can be better explained without strategic interaction …

This paper investigates the collusive and competitive effects of algorithmic price recommendations on market outcomes. These recommendations are often non-binding and common in many markets, especially on online platforms. We develop a theoretical framework and derive two algorithms that...

The paper examines an interaction of boundedly rational firms that are able to calculate their gains after reaction of an opponent to their own deviations from the current strategy. We consider an equilibrium concept that we call a Nash-2 equilibrium. We discuss the problem of existence and...
