Customer Service Quality and Incomplete Information in Mobile Telecommunications: A Game Theoretical Approach to Consumer Protection
perez-amaral, teodosio; Zorzano, Rafael López; … - Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales, … - 2012
There is growing evidence that low-quality customer service prevails in the mobile telecommunications industry. In this paper we provide theoretical support to this empirical observation by using simple game theoretical models where inefficient low-quality service levels are part of an...

On Stackelberg’s oligopoly theory
Heertje, Arnold - In: Journal of Economic Studies 23 (1996) October, pp. 48-57
Goes back to thinking on the price theory of oligopoly in 1960. In particular, is concerned with Stackelberg …’s oligopoly theory. Presents a careful description of the development of Stackelberg’s analysis. Takes into account his … mathematical appendix. Confronts the theory with game theory and concludes that in a dynamic game a Nash-Cournot equilibrium will …

Environmental lobbying with imperfect monitoring of environmental quality
Beard, Rodney; Mallawaarachchi, Thilak; Salerno, Gillian - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2007
In this paper we present a two stage game of political lobbying for policies designed to enhance environmental quality. Unlike previous work which has tended to assume perfect monitoring of environmental quality in lobbying games we allow for imperfect monitoring of environmental quality. We...

Capacity switching options under rivalry and uncertainty
Siddiqui, Afzal; Takashima, Ryuta - In: European Journal of Operational Research 222 (2012) 3, pp. 583-595
Deregulated infrastructure industries exhibit stiff competition for market share. Firms may be able to limit the effects of competition by launching new projects in stages. Using a two-stage real options model, we explore the value of such flexibility. We first demonstrate that the value of...

Earnouts in mergers and acquisitions: A game-theoretic option pricing approach
Lukas, Elmar; Reuer, Jeffrey J.; Welling, Andreas - In: European Journal of Operational Research 223 (2012) 1, pp. 256-263
This paper presents a valuation approach for merger and acquisition (M&A) deals employing contingent earnouts. It is argued that these transactions have option-like features, and the paper uses a game-theoretic option approach to model the value of such claims. More specifically, the paper...

A coalition formation value for games in partition function form
Grabisch, Michel; Funaki, Yukihiko - In: European Journal of Operational Research 221 (2012) 1, pp. 175-185
The coalition formation problem in an economy with externalities can be adequately modeled by using games in partition function form (PFF games), proposed by Thrall and Lucas. If we suppose that forming the grand coalition generates the largest total surplus, a central question is how to...

Game theoretic analysis of negotiations under bankruptcy
Annabi, Amira; Breton, Michèle; François, Pascal - In: European Journal of Operational Research 221 (2012) 3, pp. 603-613
We extend the contingent claims framework for the levered firm in explicitly modelling the resolution of financial distress under formal bankruptcy as a non-cooperative game between claimants under the supervision of the bankruptcy judge. The identity of the class of claimants proposing the...
