This paper provides a tractable empirical framework to analyze firm behavior in a dynamic oligopoly when demand is declining over time. I modify Fudenberg and Tirole (1986).s model of exit in a duopoly with incomplete information to a model that can be used in an oligopoly, and combine this with...

This paper proposes several statistical tests for finite state Markov games to examine the null hypothesis that the data are generated from a single equilibrium. We formulate tests of (i) the conditional choice probabilities, (ii) the steady-state distribution of states and (iii) the conditional...

This paper proposes several statistical tests for finite state Markov games to ex- amine whether data from distinct markets can be pooled. We formulate homo- geneity tests of (i) the conditional choice and state transition probabilities, (ii) the steady-state distribution, and (iii) the...
