Price and capacity competition in balancing markets with energy storage
Energy storage can absorb variability from the rising number of wind and solar power producers. Storage is different from the conventional generators that have traditionally balanced supply and demand on fast time scales due to its hard energy capacity constraints, dynamic coupling, and low marginal costs. These differences are leading system operators to propose new mechanisms for enabling sto...
متن کاملBertrand ' s price competition in markets with fixed costs
We analyze Bertrand’s price competition in a homogenous good market with a fixed cost and an increasing marginal cost (i.e., with variable returns to scale). If the fixed cost is avoidable, we show that the non-subadditivity of the cost function at the output corresponding to the oligopoly break-even price, denoted by D(pL(n)), is sufficient to guarantee that the market supports an equilibrium ...
متن کاملPrice Competition in Markets with Consumer Variety Seeking
We show that the non-cooperative equilibrium in a two-period duopoly with consumer variety-seeking may be the same as the collusive outcome in an otherwise identical market without variety-seeking. Specifically, our variety-seeking model implies tacit collusion between firms in both periods, and not just in the second period only as in the switching-cost model of Klemperer (1987a, 1987b), which...
متن کاملTwo-Sided Markets and Price Competition with Multi-homing
We model duopoly competition between two platforms. They operate in a two-sided market where agents are heterogeneous on both sides of the market and are allowed to multihome. Network effects are captured within a vertical differentiation framework. Under single-homing there exists an interior equilibrium where networks exhibit asymmetric sizes and both firms enjoy positive profits. When all ag...
متن کاملPrice Competition in Two-Sided Markets with Heterogeneous Consumers and Network Effects∗
In most models of two-sided markets, demand on one market side depends on the numbers of consumers on the other market side, but not on their composition. We document that prices for advertisements in daily newspapers do not only depend on the number of readers, but also on their location, gender and wealth. Motivated by this, we propose a model of a two-sided market with heterogeneous consumer...
