from the last period if there is a last period. Infinite-horizon games are often more appealing in principle and, where stationarity can be exploited, simpler to analyze. But they typically have equilibria that do not appear even in the limit of the corresponding finite-horizon games. The analysis of multi-period games in industrial economics relie...
There are three main points of tension between the textbook model of firm behavior and organization and reality. First, it is not obvious that the managers of real firms maximize profits. Second, few long-run average cost curves seem to be either U-shaped or everywhere declining, so that the textbook models of competition and natural monopoly do no...
lens of agency theory as a set of contracts (some provisions of which may be fixed by law or custom) among input suppliers. These contracts are generally incomplete; they do not fully specify the consequences for all parties of all possible actions in all possible states of nature. Incompleteness may occur because of asymmetric information (e.g., a...
22 - boundaries between firms and markets and the internal organization of business firms is not determined only by the technology of production; the technology of transaction governance and supervision also matters. Economies of Scope One of the more useful concepts that emerges from recent work on multi -product cost and production functions is e...
A central problem of industrial economics since its emergence as a distinct field has been to devise techniques for using observable variables {market structure , broadly defined) to predict conduct in and performance of markets that do not meet the strict structural conditions of perfect competition. This Section and the next review work on this p...
(4) where E is the market price elasticity of demand, -P/P'(Q)Q, H is the sum of squared market shares, 2(q-/Q) 2 — , and MC is average marginal cost, Eq-MC-/Q. If all N firms have the same cost functions, H = 1/N, and the gap between price and marginal cost declines smoothly from the monopoly level to zero as N rises. The Bertrand model, in contra...
- 34 will simply repeat their one-period Cournot strategies whenever there is a known, finite last period. Thus collusive equilibria can only appear when the horizon is infinite. But in this case the Folk Theorem comes into play: in a large class of models there seem almost always to exist many collusive perfect equilibria, in which average payoffs...
do not devote all their waking hours to setting price, output, and capacity. Major changes in capacity are infrequent, and prices tend to be rigid, especially in concentrated industries (Carlton (1986)). Important decisions regarding product quality and variety, advertising, and research and development are more frequent in many market settings. Th...
O Q the theoretical literature. Most research is devoted to the development of new products, not new processes, and development (post- invention) spending far outweighs research spending in most industries. In some industries (e.g., chemicals) patents are effective and important instruments for preventing imitation, but they can often be invented a...
In this final section I offer a brief overall assessment of the state of industrial economics and discuss some implications for research priorities and policy design. Status of the Field Industrial economists have adopted a common theoretical language in recent years and have produced a host of formal models. This work has uncovered a number of gen...
- 58 Second, the predictions of game- theoretic models seem delicate and are often difficult to test. Important qualitative features of equilibria often depend critically on whether prices or quantities are choice variables, on whether discrete or continuous time is assumed, on whether moves are sequential or simultaneous, and, perhaps most disturb...
theoretical front should be aimed, at least in part, at unification of diverse models and identification of particularly non-robust predictions. Until game- theoretic analysis either begins to yield robust general predictions or is replaced by a mode of theorizing that does so, it seems a fair bet that most major substantive advances in industrial ...
some parameter, 6, that the principal cannot observe directly and that affects performance. Then the revelation principle says, roughly, that any optimal scheme in which equilibrium compensation depends on 8 is generally equivalent to a scheme in which the agent is asked to report his 6 to the principal and is given incentives that make it optimal ...
