Endogenous preemption on both sides of a market
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a market in which both buyers and sellers can decide to preempt and set their quantities before market clearing. Will this lead to preemption on both sides of the market, only one side of the market, or to no preemption at all? We find that preemption tends to be asymmetric in the sense that it is restricted to only one side of the market (buyers or sellers). D 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Capacity Dynamics and Endogenous Asymmetries in Firm
Asymmetries arise and persist provided that one firm has a strategic advantage over the other. The tangible form of this advantage is that one firm can get the other to stop investing. In Section 4 of the paper, we have shown that this is the case under price competition because a firm’s profits from product market competition peak in its own capacity. Below we show that cost/benefit considerat...
متن کاملCapacity Dynamics and Endogenous Asymmetries in Firm Size∗
Empirical evidence suggests that there are substantial and persistent differences in the sizes of firms in most industries. We propose a dynamic model of capacity accumulation that explains the observed facts. In our model, firms accumulate capacity over time and compete repeatedly in the product market. We assume that capacity is lumpy and that investment and depreciation are subject to idiosy...
متن کاملPreemption in Capacity and Price Determination - A Study of Endogenous Timing of Decisions for Homogeneous Markets
Endogenous timing can help to derive the time structure of decision making instead of assuming it as exogenously given. In our study we consider a homogeneous market where, like in the model of Kreps and Scheinkman (1983), sellers determine “sales capacities” before prices. Sellers must serve customers, but at higher costs when demand exceeds “capacitiy”. Our model allows for preemption in “cap...

متن کاملCritical Path Method for Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem with Preemption
This paper addressed a Flexible Job shop Scheduling Problem (FJSP) with the objective of minimization of maximum completion time (Cmax) which job splitting or lot streaming is allowed. Lot streaming is an important technique that has been used widely to reduce completion time of a production system. Due to the complexity of the problem; exact optimization techniques such as branch and bound alg...
