This paper examines the behaviour of two firms competing in a duopoly, where can influence demand through use advertising. The simulates strategic interaction based on game-theoretic Cournot analytical model. evolution over time Nash equilibrium is graphically displayed for number different competitive scenarios. results show that there exist threshold levels advertising effectiveness at which ...

We introduce and analyze a multi-period, finite horizon, no-replenishment, dynamic pricing model under duopoly competition between two retailers who sell an identical good. According to our duopoly competition model, a single consumer, whose valuation is uniformly distributed on [0,1], visits only one of the two retailers in each period. If the price posted by the retailer visited by the consum...

high and increasing beef marketing margin leads one to controversy about factors affecting it. this study using the monthly data for the 1998-2005 period to investigate the market power and to estimate how farm and marketing services supplies and retail demand determinants can affect beef marketing margin. the results show that farm, marketing services and retail level prices and thereby ma...

Consider a symmetric differentiated duopoly model in which firms have private market data about the uncertain demand. We analyze two types of duopoly information equilibrium, Cournot and Bertrand, which emerge, respectively, from quantity and price competition, and show that the incentives for information sharing and its welfare consequences depend crucially on the type of competition, the natu...

The stabilization of the Cournot equilibrium point of a duopoly by feedback control is analyzed. We give a general result which is valid for any duopoly controlled by linear feedback and study in detail the stabilization of a duopoly when the feedback is not linear.

Complex nonlinear economic dynamics in a Cournot duopoly model proposed by M. Kopel is studied in detail in this work. By utilizing the topological horseshoe theory proposed by Yang XS, the authors detect the topological horseshoe chaotic dynamics in the Cournot duopoly model for the first time, and also give the rigorous computer-assisted verification for the existence of horseshoe. In the pro...

We analyze costly quality disclosure with horizontally differentiated products under duopoly and monopoly, and characterize the effect of competition on disclosure and welfare. We show that expected disclosure is higher under monopoly than under duopoly, and the welfare comparison depends on the level of disclosure cost: when the disclosure cost is low, welfare is higher under monopoly than duo...
