We characterize equilibria of a multistage game in which competing duopolists may acquire and share information in advance of choosing their financial structure which, in turn, precedes production. Given sufficient uncertainty, equilibria exist in which the efficiency and, possibly, coordination...

This note extends earlier work on the effects of risk aversion on the preferences of duopolists to share information. It is shown that the common finding that Cournot duopolists prefer to share firm-specific information no longer obtains for some parameterizations. In particular, the greater the...
