In today’s highly competitive business environment, advertisement plays an influential role in attracting customers and increasing market share. Companies adopt different advertising strategies a market, such as offensive, defensive, generic, to keep increase their Researchers have generally modeled this problem using dynamic differential game. All previous research studies focused on finding t...

In this paper, we investigate the question of whether the assumption of the “representative agent”, often made in economic modeling, is innocuous or whether it may be misleading under certain circumstances. In order to obtain some insight into this question, two dynamic Cournot duopoly games are considered, whose dynamics are represented by discrete-time dynamical systems. For each of these mod...

Bundling is the sale of two or more products in combination as a package. In this paper we consider the bundling and pricing of a complex durable product with the after-sales repair and maintenance services. The product and service are two different, but related markets for this scenario. The problem of bundling and pricing are considered for two product market structures: monopoly and duopoly....

We examine learning by artificial agents in repeated play of Cournot duopoly games. Our learning model is simple and cognitively realistic. The model departs from standard reinforcement learning models, as applied to agents in games, in that it credits the agent with a form of conceptual ascent, whereby the agent is able to learn from a consideration set of strategies spanning more than one per...

This study examines the competition between an independent software vendor (ISV) who offers a standard fixed-price software product and a cloud software vendor (CSV) who adopts a usage-based linear pricing scheme for its cloud-based software. Using a game theoretic approach, we set up a duopoly model to derive the optimal pricing and product feature choice decisions for both the ISV and the CSV...

dynamic game theory is applied to analyze the timber market in northern iran as a duopsony. the nash equilibrium and the dynamic properties of the system based on marginal adjustments are determined. when timber is sold, the different mills use mixed strategies to give sealed bids. it is found that the decision probability combination of the different mills follow a special form of attractor an...

A bounded rationality duopoly game with delay is formulated. Its dynamical evolution is analyzed. The existence of an economic equilibrium of the game is derived. The local stability analysis has been carried out. The analysis showed that firms using delayed bounded rationality have a higher chance of reaching a Nash equilibrium point. Numerical simulations were used to show bifurcation diagram...
