We use a Hotelling linear city model to study competition between open source and proprietary software, where only the … producer of the proprietary software aims at maximizing the profit. The producer of the proprietary software must decide on … for the producer of the proprietary software. We found that the proprietary producer's choice of compatibility strategy …

A Modified Stackelberg Game for a Duopoly Cruise Market with a Potential New Entrant

Cho, Seong-Cheol - 2017

This paper develops a modified Stackelberg game model for a duopoly market. Unlike the traditional duopoly where the leader and the follower both exist in the market, the modified model supposes a preexisting leader and a follower that has not yet entered the market. This specific situation has...

Quarta, Stefano - 2019

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role of the public firm in a spatial duopoly model a la Hotelling in the case of a low willingness to pay. We find that the presence of a public firm has the well known regulatory function in a market with a relative high willingness to pay; it is...

Endougenous Timing in a Mixed Duopoly

Amir, Rabah; De Feo, Giuseppe - 2012

This paper applies the framework of endogenous timing in games to mixed quantity duopoly, wherein a private domestic or foreign firm competes with a public, welfare maximizing firm. We show that simultaneous play never emerges as a subgame-perfect equilibrium of the extended game, in sharp...

Competing with Big Data

Prufer, Jens - 2019

This paper studies competition in data-driven markets, that is, markets where the cost of quality production is decreasing in the amount of machine-generated data about user preferences or characteristics, which is an inseparable byproduct of using services offered in such markets. This gives...

Endogenous information disclosure in experimental oligopolies

Kopányi, Dávid; Kopányi-Peuker, Anita - 2015

With this research we examine whether observing firm-specific production levels leads to a less competitive market outcome. We consider an endogenous information setting where firms can freely decide whether they want to share information about their past production levels. By voluntarily...

Product differentiation and entry timing in a continuous time spatial competition model

Ebina, Takeshi; Matsushima, Noriaki; Shimizu, Daisuke - 2014

We extend the well-known spatial competition model (d'Aspremont et al., 1979) to a continuous time model in which two firms compete in each instance. Our focus is on the entry timing decisions of firms and their optimal locations. We demonstrate that the leader has an incentive to locate closer...

Dynamic Bertrand-Edgeworth Competition with Uncertain Demand and Entry

Cattaneo, Esteban; Franchetti, Francisco; Padilla, Jorge; … - 2021

In this paper we investigate a two-period Bertrand-Edgeworth oligopoly model in which two capacity-constrained firms (incumbents) compete facing future demand uncertainty as well as uncertainty about entry. These firms must choose between pricing low and secure sales in the first period or,...

Competition with Asymmetric Switching Costs

Fischer, Ronald D. - 2011

We analyze the effects of asymmetric switching costs on two identical firms that produce an homogeneous good and compete in prices. Both firms inherit a fraction of the market which is “locked-in” by the switching costs. When switching costs are low, firms face a tradeoff between charging a...
