- Entry Patterns Over the Product Life Cycle
- This paper studies an oligopoly model of entry over the product life cycle based on empirical evidence of demand for a new product growing over time and eventually falling. Yet, it is assumed that firms do not know ex ante when this can occur, which creates incentives to update information...

- Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences
- This paper investigates the problem of planning marketing mix in dynamic competitive markets. The authors extend the Lanchester model by incorporating interaction effects, constructing the marketing-mix algorithm that yields marketing-mix plans with strategic foresight, and developing the continuous-discrete estimation method to calibrate dynamic models of oligopoly using market data. Both...

- Estimating Dynamic Pricing Decisions In Oligopolistic Markets: An Empirical Approach Using Micro And Macro-Level Data

- Market Structure and Quality: An Application to the Banking Industry
- This paper presents empirical evidence consistent with the predictions of the endogenous sunk cost model of Sutton (1991), with an application to banks. In particular, banking markets remain concentrated regardless of market size. Given an asymmetric oligopoly where dominant and fringe firms coexist, the number of dominant banks remains unchanged...

- Productivity Distributions In International Oligopolies: Spillovers, Technology Transfer, And Heterogeneous FDI
- Foreign-owned firms exhibit widely-documented productivity advantages over domestic firms. To interpret this stylized fact, we model the relationships between FDI flows and national productivity distributions across firms in an international oligopoly. Industrial structure is determined endogenously, and both greenfield- and acquisition-FDI are allowed for. The technology gap between firms interacts...
