THE CURSE OF WINDFALL GAINS IN A NON RENEWABLE RESOURCE OLIGOPOLY *
In this paper, we consider oligopolistic equilibria in subgame-perfect strategies in continuous time, and investigate the effect of stock discovery on the profits of non-identical natural resource oligopolists. We show that a uniform addition to all stocks does not necessarily increase the discounted sum of profits of all firms.
