higher free flow transport costs but is less prone to congestion (ample public transport capacity, parking etc.). Both … fixed costs. In the absence of any government regulation, there will be an asymmetric duopoly game that can be solved for a … congestion for the nearby subcentre.

Imperfect competition, general equilibrium and unemployment

Gersbach, Hans; Schniewind, Achim - 1999

We analyze whether different learning abilities of firms with respect to general equilibrium effects lead to different levels of unemployment. We consider a general equilibrium model where firms in one sector compete à la Cournot and a real wage rigidity leads to unemployment. If firms consider...

Imperfect Competition, General Equilibrium and Unemployment

The influence of product liability on vertical product differentiation

Baumann, Florian; Friehe, Tim; Rasch, Alexander - 2015

This paper explores the impact of product liability on vertical product differentiation when product safety is perfectly observable. In a two-stage competition, duopolistic firms are subject to strict liability and segment the market such that a low-safety product is marketed at a low price to...

Environmental taxation and structural change in an open economy : a CGE analysis with imperfect competition and free entry

Böhringer, Christoph; Welsch, Heinz; Löschel, Andreas - 2001

The economic effects of environmental taxes depend on the market structure. Under imperfect competition with free entry and exit, environmental taxes have an impact on economies of scale by changing the number and size of firms. Whether economies of scale rise or fall in a particular industry...

Taxation under oligopoly in a general equilibrium setting

Collie, David R. - 2015

Taxation under oligopoly is analysed in a general equilibrium setting where the firms are large relative to the size of the economy and maximise the utility of their shareholders. It turns out that the model is an aggregative game, which simplifies the comparative statics for the effects of...

Imperfect Collusion in an Asymmetric Duopoly

Escrihuela-Villar, Marc; Gutiérrez-Hita, Carlos - 2021

Using the coefficient of cooperation, we analyse the effect of cost asymmetries on collusive agreements when firms are able to coordinate on distinct output levels than the unrestricted joint profit maximization outcome. In this context, we first investigate the extent to which collusive...
