Cournot Oligopoly with Network Effects
The nature of competition is quite different in network industries as compared to the other, more traditional, ones. The purpose of the present paper is to thoroughly examine the implications of these differences as reflected in the dependence of equilibrium outputs, price and profits on industry concentration. We restrict the analysis to oligopolistic competition amongst firms in a market char...
متن کاملDynamic Oligopoly with Network Effects*
We analyze oligopolistic competition in a multi-period dynamic setting for goods with network effects. Two or more infinitely-lived firms produce incompatible products differentiated in their inherent quality. Consumers live for a single period and receive the network effect of the previous period’s sales. We show existence and characterize Markov perfect equilibria that are unique given market...
متن کاملSnowball: A dynamic oligopoly model with indirect network effects
Allowing for innovation dynamics in the software market, this paper studies the conditions under which standardization in the hardware market arises and persists over time. In the model, software firms repeatedly invest in quality upgrades, compete in the product market, and make exit as well as entry decisions. The results show that, in general, excess inertia does not occur. A platform become...
متن کاملSimultaneous Decentralized Competitive Supply Chain Network Design under Oligopoly Competition
This paper discusses a problem in which decentralized supply chains enter the market simultaneously with no existing rival chains, shape the supply chains’ networks, and set wholesale and retail prices in a noncooperative manner. All the chains produce either identical or highly substitutable products. Customer demand is elastic and price-dependent. A three-step algorithm is proposed to solve ...
