Optimal Monopoly Investment and Capacity Utilization under Random Demand
Unique value-maximizing programs of irreversible capacity investment and capacity utilization are described and shown to exist under general conditions for monopolist exhibiting capital adjustment costs and serving random consumer demand for a nondurable good over an infinite horizon. Stationary properties of these programs are then fully characterized under the assumption of serially independe...
متن کاملMultimarket contact under demand fluctuations
The present paper studies repeated Bertrand oligopoly with multiple markets. The markets are subject to independent, stochastic fluctuations in demands. According to the literature, the demand fluctuations generally hinder collusion, while the multimarket contact sometimes facilitates it. We show that when only partial collusion is sustainable under a single market, the per-market expected prof...
متن کاملCournot Duopoly when the Competitors Operate under Capacity Constraints
The paper considers Cournot duopoly where the competitors have capacity constraints. An isoelastic demand function, which always results when consumers maximise utility functions of the Cobb-Douglas type, is used. It has been demonstrated that isoelastic demand, combined with constant marginal costs, results in complex dynamics. The purpose of the present paper is to reconsider the case, using ...
متن کاملCredible Capacity Preemption in a Duopoly Market under Uncertainty
This paper explores firms’ incentives to engage in capacity preemption using a continuous-time real options game. Two ex ante identical firms can choose capacity and investment timing regarding the entry into a new industry whose demand grows until an unknown maturity date, after which it declines until it disappears. Previous literature usually predicts that the Stackelberg leader, whether end...
متن کاملInvestment and capacity choice under uncertain demand
Papers published in this report series are preliminary versions of journal articles and not for quotations. Abstract This paper extends the real options literature by discussing an investment problem, where a firm has to determine optimal investment timing and optimal capacity choice at the same time under conditions of irreversible investment expenditures and uncertainty in future demand. Afte...
