We characterize the product line choice and pricing of a monopolist from the upper envelope of net marginal revenue curves to the individual product demand functions. The equilibrium product line constitutes those varieties yielding the highest upper envelope. In a generalized vertical...

We extend the persuasion game to bring it squarely into the economics of advertising. We model advertising as exciting … consumer interest into learning more about the product, and determine a firm's equilibrium choice of advertising content over … quality information, price information, and horizontal match information. Equilibrium is unique whenever advertising is …

We apply Luce's choice axiomatic framework to oligopoly pricing of quality differentiated goods. The demand system is a probabilistic comparison of surpluses across products. Zero demands arise naturally, in contrast to the related CES and Mixed Logit models. With asymmetric products, high...

We use cumulative reaction functions to compare long-run market structures in aggregative oligopoly games. We fi?rst compile an IO toolkit for aggregative games. We show strong neutrality properties across market structures. The aggregator stays the same, despite changes in the number of ?rooms...

We analyze an oligopoly model with horizontal di¤erentiation and quality di¤erences. High quality goods are over-priced and under-produced. When the market is fairly covered, low quality products may be pro…table when their social contribution is negative, leading to too many products in...
