The Cartel-Fringe Equilibrium with Sluggish Demand
The demand for some products, such as energy, does not instantaneously respond to price changes. In fact, sluggishness of the demand is an important characteristic of energy and oil markets. This study examines the effect of demand sluggishness on the price and output of a fossil fuel industry in which a cartel and a fringe firm supply in the market. The cartel has larger reserves and less cost...
متن کاملCartel versus Merger∗
Procurement practices are affected by the nature of competition among suppliers and by uncertainty about whether suppliers are colluding. A buyer that is dissatisfied with the bids of incumbent bidders, perhaps based on suspicions of collusion, can cancel the procurement and then resolicit bids after qualifying additional suppliers. Recent cartel cases show that cartels devote considerable atte...
متن کاملCross-fringe versus single-fringe probabilities
High-resolution TEM is well-suited to characterizing nanocrystals, where lattice fringes serve as a source of structural information [1, 2]. For example, 3D lattice parameters can be measured from 2D lattice fringe images taken at as few as two different specimen orientations [3-6]. Recent work has shown that lattice fringe-visibility maps, a thin-specimen extension of bend-contour and channeli...
متن کاملStrong Consistency at Scale
Today’s online services must meet strict availability and performance requirements. State machine replication, one of the most fundamental approaches to increasing the availability of services without sacrificing strong consistency, provides configurable availability but limited performance scalability. Scalable State Machine Replication (S-SMR) achieves scalable performance by partitioning the...
متن کاملCartel Stability with Time-dependent Detection Probabilities
To account for the illegal nature of price-fixing agreements, detection probabilities are introduced in a dynamic oligopoly. For a trigger strategy to sustain a non-cooperative collusive equilibrium as a SPNE both the discount rate and all per-period detection probabilities must be ‘low’. The domain reduces for which the strictest IC constraint is binding if (i) any per-period detection probabi...
