We consider a number of individual, discrete consumers, deciding their location on Hotelling's line in a non-cooperative way. Agglomeration emerges as a non-cooperative equilibrium, implying high transportation costs. No restriction is required concerning the functional forrn of transport costs...

The Bulow et al. [1985] framework is explored assuming demand and/or production relations. A multiproduct firm is assumed to have a single product rival in one of the two submarkets in which it participates. In the case of linear demand and cost functions, the direct and the strategic effects of...

Using data obtained from experiments reported in García-Gallego (1998) and García- Gallego and Georgantzís (2001), we estimate a simple model of adaptive behavior which could describe pricing in a market whose demand conditions are unknown to the firms. Divergence between the limit of...

We study culture and risk aversion as causes of gender differences in ultimatum bargaining. It has often been conjectured in the literature that gender differences in bargaining experiments are partly due to differences in risky decision making. Using the data obtained from our experimental...

We propose a bargaining process supergame over the strategies to play in a non-cooperative game. The agreement reached by players at the end of the bargaining process is the strategy profile that they will play in the original non-cooperative game. We analyze the subgame perfect equilibria of...

We analyze the interaction between university professors’ teaching quality and their research and administrative activities. Our sample is a high-quality individual panel data set from a medium size public Spanish university. Although, researchers teach roughly 20% more than non-researchers,...
