Price Competition with Repeat, Loyal Buyers
Many empirical studies have established that state dependence varies across consumers, brands, and categories. Previous analytic models have assumed that state dependence is a customer characteristic that does not vary across firms. In contrast, we take the view that state dependence varies by firm. That is, a well-known national brand, such as Tide detergent, may be able to attract more repeat...
متن کاملLikely (and Unlikely) Voters and the Assessment of Campaign Dynamics
Only in recent years has the “likely voter” technology been extended to polls well in advance of an election.

We show that if the players are myopic, the weaker players eventually lose the game to their strongest rival. If instead the players are sufficiently non-myo...

I consider a one-shot game between two candidates, where the payoffs of the candidates are their vote shares, and the strategy set of each candidate is a one-dimensional set of policy positions. The utility that a voter attributes to a candidate is linear in both the absolute distance between...
