Price-setting and quantity-setting oligopoly games lead to extremely different outcomes in the market.

Otherwise, it is optimal for the cartel to rely on quantities in the collusive phase if goods are substitutes and prices if goods are complements. The reason is that this minimizes the gains from deviations fro...
متن کاملQuantity precommitment in an experimental oligopoly market
The paper describes an experiment designed to test if the equilibrium in a market characterized by capacity precommitment followed by price competition, as in the Kreps and Scheinkman model, conforms with the outcome predicted by that model, which is that capacities coincide with Cournot output levels. Sessions were run with capacity precommitment in inexperienced and experienced triopoly marke...

By taking advantage of the risk-pooling effect and the quantity/volume discount provided by suppliers or thirdparty carriers, the retailers may place joint orders and keep inventory at central warehouses before demand realization, and allocate inventory among themse...
