Growth and differentiated oligopoly
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents a model of endogenous growth and strategic interdependence among firms, in the form of differentiated oligopoly. It shows that the degree of interdependence among firms affects the growth rate of available varieties along a balanced growth path. The resulting link between market interdependence and varieties’ growth may be positive or negative, because opposite forces are at work. 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

This paper analyzes the effect of market concentration and product differentiation on the observed outcomes of competition among oligopolists. The empirical framework is designed to examine whether competition is less intense in markets with equal levels of concentration, but more differentiation among the products offered. A two-stage estimation procedure is proposed to address the endogeneity...
متن کاملNon - Cooperative Asymptotic Oligopoly in Economies with Infinitely Many Commodities ∗
In this paper, we extend the non-cooperative analysis of oligopoly to exchange economies with infinitely many commodities by using strategic market games. This setting can be interpreted as a model of oligopoly with differentiated commodities by using the Hotelling line. We prove the existence of an “active” Cournot-Nash equilibrium and show that, when traders are replicated, the price vector a...

In this article we revisit the classic comparison between Bertrand and Cournot competition in the presence of a cartel of firms that faces outsiders acting individually. This competition setting enables to deal with both non-cooperative and cooperative oligopoly games. We concentrate on industries consisting of symmetrically differentiated products where firms operate at a constant and identica...
