Price-Setting Mixed Duopoly, Privatization and Subsidization
This paper focuses on the role that production subsidies play in a Bertrand mixed duopoly. The paper examines four regimes: mixed and private duopoly, each with and without subsidies. The results of this study are compared with the findings of the existing Cournot mixed market literature. As a result, the paper shows that that the introduction of production subsidies into the analyses of Bertra...
متن کاملPrice competition in a differentiated products duopoly under network effects
We examine price competition under product-specific network effects, in a duopoly where the products are differentiated horizontally and vertically. When consumers’ expectations are not affected by prices, firms may share the market equally, or one firm (possibly even the low-quality one) may capture the entire market. When product qualities are different, we may also have interior asymmetric e...
متن کاملLocation choice and price discrimination in a duopoly
This paper analyses the problem of price discrimination and product design in a duopoly model with both horizontal and vertical differentiation. Discriminatory contracts are first characterised at each customer location. It is then shown that firms’ locations have a big impact on their discriminatory ability and that equilibrium locations are not monotonic with respect to the heterogeneity para...
متن کاملSocial Welfare under Quantity Competition and Price Competition in a Mixed Duopoly with Network Effects: An Analysis
In their recent work, Matsumura and Ogawa (2012) showed that in the context of a mixed duopoly, equilibrium social welfare is higher in price-setting competition than in quantity-setting competition. We found that when the strength of network effects is sufficiently high, the above result is totally reversed; thus, in a mixed duopoly, the presence of network effects weakens the superiority of p...
متن کاملPrice Symmetry in a Duopoly with Congestion
We show that in a duopoly operating in a congested market, with a general congestion function and an arbitrary distribution of consumer disutility for congestion, there cannot exist an asymmetric Nash equilibrium. We also show that whenever an equilibrium does exist it is unique. Closed form expressions for the symmetric equilibrium prices and profits are provided. JEL Classification Numbers: C...
