Abstract. Traditional modelling of mergers has the merged firms (insiders) cooperate and
maximize joint profits. This approach has several unappealing results in quantity-setting
games, for example, mergers typically are not profitable for insiders, but are profitable for ...

Conclusion The direction of information with respect to the choice variable can easily
change under a general class of distributions. The implication is that, when information is a
function of the choice variable, the result of a model may be an outcome of the structure of ...

Joint production between rival firms often entails knowledge transfers without direct
compensation, leaving the question as to why more efficient firms would give their rivals
such an advantage. We find that such transfers are credible mechanisms to make the ...

That firms share information with their rivals is both well-known and studied. However, firms
also often share information with their suppliers. The firm's incentive to share productivity
information with both its supplier and its rival is examined. It is found that by sharing ...

We relax the standard assumption in the strategic trade policy literature that governments

obtain information from firms, we examine firms' incentive to disclose information to the ...

Consider a (new) competitive market with unknown demand. The market price generated by
incumbents conveys information that firms, including potential entrants, use for future
decisions. Yet the incumbents are not rewarded for their assistance, suggesting that an ...

A different approach is introduced to determine the value of an information-sharing
agreement: the measure of risk aversion/loving. This approach reveals the relationship

Using the work in experimentation I endogenize the, until now, exogenous information in
information sharing models. I find that agreements to exchange information affect the value

2. Abstract Consider domestic consumers that purchase from foreign firms. A presumption

However, in a multifirm framework based on previous models, consumers can be worse ...

A firm is developing a new product. However, the firm is uncertain as to how consumers will
perceive the product's desirability or quality. Using a general model of product quality,
conditions for an increase in uncertainty to increase the optimal price are derived. General ...

A monopoly facing potential entry may not want to develop an efficient technology even at
zero R&D costs. Such a phenomenon occurs if a new technology is distinct from the existing
one so production uncertainty becomes technology-specific. Then the monopoly can ...

In price competition, a firm (F) reduces its rival's (R) learning about R's cost. In quantity
