Incentive Compatible Collusion and Investment∗
We consider a two-stage model in which two firms first invest in R&D to reduce their marginal production costs, and then either compete or collude in the output market. When they collude, they bargain over a cartel agreement to divide the collusive profit. If bargaining breaks down, they revert to duopolistic competition. For both a location model and a linear demand model, we show that firms i...
متن کاملTransaction Costs and Incentive Theory ∗
This paper tries to reconcile incentive theory with transaction costs theory. We first discuss the fundamental assumptions underlying the use of the Revelation Principle in the standard mechanism design literature and show how various contractual incompletenesses and externalities induced by transaction costs affect the basic trade-off between allocative efficiency and informational rents highl...
متن کاملInvestment timing and learning externalities
We study a duopoly model of investment, in which each player learns about the quality of a common value project by observing some public background information, and possibly the experience of his rival. Investment costs are private information, and the background signal takes the form of a Poisson process conditional on the quality of the project being low. The resulting attrition game has a un...
متن کاملIndeterminacy and Investment Adjustment Costs
It has been widely known that neoclassical growth models with su¢cient increasing returns in production may feature indeterminacy. This note shows that investment adjustment costs increase the required degree of increasing returns for indeterminacy to arise. Under empirically plausible levels of investment adjustment costs, we need implausibly large degree of increasing returns to generate inde...
متن کاملCostly External Financing, Investment Timing, and Investment-Cash Flow Sensitivity
This paper examines the effects of costly external financing on the optimal timing of a firm’s investment. By altering the optimal investment timing, costly financing affects current investment and the sensitivity of investment to internal cash flow. Importantly, the relation between the cost of external funds and investment-cash flow sensitivity is non-monotonic. Investment-cash flow sensitivi...
