A Dynamic Network Oligopoly Model with Transportation Costs, Product Differentiation, and Quality Competition

Nagurney, Anna; Li, Dong - In: Computational Economics 44 (2014) 2, pp. 201-229

This paper develops a new dynamic model of Cournot–Nash oligopolistic competition that includes production and transportation costs, product differentiation, and quality levels in a network framework. The production costs capture the total quality cost, which, in turn, can also represent the...

Supply chain network competition in time-sensitive markets

Nagurney, Anna; Yu, Min; Floden, Jonas; Nagurney, Ladimer S. - In: Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and … 70 (2014) C, pp. 112-127

We develop a game theory model for supply chain network competition in time-sensitive markets in which consumers respond to the average delivery time associated with the various firms’ products. The firms’ behavior is captured, along with the supply chain network topologies, with the...

Efficiency loss in a Cournot oligopoly with convex market demand

Tsitsiklis, John N.; Xu, Yunjian - In: Journal of Mathematical Economics 53 (2014) C, pp. 46-58

We consider a Cournot oligopoly model where multiple suppliers (oligopolists) compete by choosing quantities. We compare the social welfare achieved at a Cournot equilibrium to the maximum possible, for the case where the inverse market demand function is convex. We establish a lower bound on...
