An experiment on strategic capacity reduction †
A firm may strategically decrease capacity to gain bargaining power over its suppliers. Equilibrium models of competition imply that the incentive to reduce capacity to gain buyer power is small because the buyer captures all available surplus by excluding even a single supplier. However, these models can rest on behaviorally untenable actions prescribed to suppliers in equilibrium. In this pap...
متن کاملStrategic delegation: An experiment
We examine the effects of strategic delegation in a simple ultimatum game experiment. We show that when the proposer uses a delegate, her share increases both when the delegate is optional or mandatory. This is true despite the fact that the delegate cannot be used as a commitment device. We also show that unobserved delegation by the responder reduces her share, as her delegate is perceived to...
متن کاملAn Experiment in Latency Reduction
1,2 Communication latency can be reduced by increasing bandwidth via a sender-based anticipation technique called Parallel Communication. Here we apply this method to anonymous FTP. Our analysis of log files indicates that latency can be reduced to 2 round-trip times, as small as 0.6 round-trip time/file, for a 7x increase in bandwidth. This technique applies to up to 95% of the FTP traffic. Th...
متن کاملOn Delays in Project Completion With Cost Reduction: An Experiment
We examine the voluntary provision of a public project via binary contributions when contributions may be made over multiple periods. In many situations, early contributors are likely to pay a higher cost than those who wait. We show that in such circumstances the provision of the project always involves delay. Since this game involves coordination on complex, dynamic strategies in the face of ...
متن کاملAn On-line Addendum to: “Strategic Commitments for an Optimal Capacity Decision Under Asymmetric Forecast Information”
Proof of Theorem 4. For wa ∈ [c + ck, rck w−c ], we have the boundary equilibrium. From its definition, yb(ξ) is decreasing in wa (that is, dyb(ξ) dwa < 0) and yb(ξ) = μ + ξ + G−1( r−c−ck r ) when wa = c + ck. The total supply chain profit at the boundary equilibrium is Πtot(yb(ξ), yb(ξ), ξ) = rEmin(μ + ξ + , yb(ξ)) − (c + ck)y(ξ) from Equations (16) and (17). This function is concave and incre...
