متن کاملFirst-mover advantage in round-robin tournaments
We study round-robin tournaments with either three or four symmetric players whose values of winning are common knowledge. In the round-robin tournament with three players there are three stages, each of which includes one match between two players. The player who wins in two matches wins the tournament. We characterize the sub-game perfect equilibrium and show that each player maximizes his ex...

متن کاملFirst-Mover Advantage Through Distribution: A Decomposition Approach
Whereas the extant literature on entry-order effects establishes that first entrants often earn higher market shares (“market-share advantage”), the literature on distribution suggests increased distribution has a positive effect on sales. Can distribution help us better understand entry-order effects on market shares? This paper examines how the first entrant in a geographical market achieves ...
