Cooperation and competition in markets with network externalities or learning curves

Morasch, Karl - 2013

The related phenomena of learning curve and network effects are quite common in oligopolistic markets. In this context the present paper discusses the incentives of a technological leader to share its exclusive technology with potential competitors. An alliance may be preferable because partner...

Collusion with Network Externalities in Price vs. Quantity Competition

Choi, Kangsik; Lee, DongJoon - 2020

In the presence of network externalities, we compare the stability of collusion under Bertrand and Cournot duopoly with differentiated products. Contrast to previous studies, we show that (i) firms have stronger incentive to collude under Bertrand competition than under Cournot competition in...

Dynamic Duopoly Competition with Switching Costs and Network Externalities

Grzybowski, Lukasz; Doganoglu, Toker - 2013

This paper analyzes competition in a two-period differentiated-products duopoly in the presence of both switching costs and network effects. We show that they have opposite implications on the demand side, specially in the first period. While the former reduces demand elasticities, the latter...

Collusive stability with relative performance and network externalities

Lu, Yi-Shan; Tsai, Chien-Shu; Lee, Jen Yao; Lee, Chung-Yang - In: Games 15 (2024) 23, pp. 1-7

In this paper, we aim to investigate the collusive stability in the presence of network externalities among firms with relative performance in the firm's objective functions. We demonstrate that collusive stability is increasing (decreasing) in the degree of relative performance, product...
