A Note on Regulating Oligopolistic Industries: A Hierarchical Model.
In a 1994 paper, extending the well-known incremental surplus subsidy scheme of Sappington and Sibley, Schwermer presented a non-Bayesian incentive scheme for regulating a Cournot oligopoly industry. This note designs an oligopolistic incentive scheme for a hierarchical Stackelberg model in which firms choose outputs sequentially. Copyright 1997 by Kluwer Academic Publishers
