We present a general overview of papers that employ laboratory experiments to study oligopoly markets. We focus on papers that have been published since 2000. We categorize studies into three broad classes: (1) oligopoly competition from a static perspective, (2) dynamics, convergence, and...

We examine the strategic behavior of leaders and followers in sequential duopoly experiments in which followers either perfectly observe the leaders' actions or else observe nothing. (...)

The seminal paper by Salant, Switzer and Reynolds (1983) showed that merger in a standard Cournot framework with linear demand and linear costs is not profitable unless a large majority of the firms are involved in the merger. However, many strategic aspects matter for firm competition such as...
