Dynamic Price Competition with Switching Costs
We develop a continuous-time dynamic model of competition with switching costs to show that in a relatively simple Markov Perfect equilibrium, the dominant rm concedes market share by charging higher prices than the smaller rm. In the short-run, switching costs might have two types of anti-competitive e¤ects: rst, higher switching costs imply a slower transition to a symmetric market structu...
متن کاملDynamic Duopoly Competition with Switching Costs and Network Externalities
This paper analyzes competition in a two-period differentiated-products duopoly in the presence of both switching costs and network effects. Consumers are assumed to have rational expectation about network sizes, and future prices. The equilibrium prices in both periods are lower than markets with just switching costs and they decrease with the magnitude of network effects. Hence, in any period...
متن کاملCoordination and Lock-In: Competition with Switching Costs
Switching costs and network e ects bind customers to vendors if products are incompatible, locking customers or even markets in to early choices. Lock-in hinders customers from changing suppliers in response to (predictable or unpredictable) changes in e ciency, and gives vendors lucrative ex post market power|over the same buyer in the case of switching costs (or brand loyalty), or over others...

Competition through capacity investment under asymmetric existing capacities and costs
This paper discusses the way that different operational characteristics including existing capacity, scale economies, and production policy have an important influence on the capacity outcomes when firms compete in the market place. We formulate a gametheoretical model where each firm has an existing capacity and faces both fixed and variable costs in purchasing additional capacity. Specificall...
