Duopoly price competition with limited capacity

نویسندگان

چکیده

Abstract We study a variation of the duopoly model by Kreps and Scheinkman (1983). Firms limited their capacity production engage in two stage game. In first they commit to levels not exceeding capacities which are then made common knowledge. second after has taken place firms simultaneously compete prices. Solution this sequential game shows that unique Cournot equilibrium outcome as is always guaranteed. However still robust sense given sufficiently large holds. If small, decide produce at full set price clears market level output.

Price and capacity competition

We study the efficiency of oligopoly equilibria in a model where firms compete over capacities and prices. Our model economy corresponds to a two-stage game. First, firms choose their capacity levels. Second, after the capacity levels are observed, they set prices. Given the capacities and prices, consumers allocate their demands across the firms. We establish the existence of pure strategy oli...

Price Competition under Limited Comparability∗

This paper studies market competition when firms can influence consumers’ ability to compare market alternatives, through their choice of price “formats”. We introduce random graphs as a tool for modeling limited comparability of formats. Our main results concern the interaction between firms’ equilibrium price and format decisions and its implications for industry profits and consumer switchin...

Price Competition under Limited Supply

This note investigates the standard Bertrand-Edgeworth duopolistic competition in which two firms sell a homogenous good and have an identical capacity constraint. We examine three firstcome, first-served rationing rules: a) high-to-low rationing where customers arrive in decreasing order of willingness to pay, b) proportional rationing where customer arrivals are independent of willingness to ...

Price and quantity competition in a differentiated duopoly

• Two classical models in the theory of oligopoly are those of Coumot (1838) and Bertrand (1883). In both models the equilibrium concept is the noncooperative equilibrium of Nash (1950). In the former firms set quantities. In the latter prices are the strategy variables. In a duopoly situation where firms produce a homogeneous good and marginal costs are constant and equal for both firms, the B...
