A technique to determine closed-loop Nash equilibria of n-player differential games is developed when their dynamic state-control system is composed of decoupled ODEs. In particular, the theory of Lie point symmetries is exploited to achieve first integrals of such systems.

We determine the emergence of the Porter Hypothesis in a large oligopoly setting where the industry-wide adoption of green technologies is endogenously determined as a result of competition among coalitions. We examine a setting where the initial technology is polluting, firms decide whether to...

In the classic beauty contest story of Morris and Shin (2002), the coordination game is set exogenously in the payoff function of agents. Our paper studies the existence of endogenous coordination in a context with one seller and many buyers. Due to imperfect information, the seller has an...

We model cooperative games when externality affects the payoffs of coalitions. The coalitional games among countries committing to pollution reduction can be easily embedded into such a framework. We evaluate the individual welfare for countries joining the International Environmental Agreements...

We identify a class of noncooperative games in continuous strategies which are best-response potential games. We identify the conditions for the existence of a best-response potential function and characterise its construction, describing then the key properties of the equilibrium. The...
