Equilibria and their stability in an asymmetric duopoly model of Kopel
In this paper, we investigate the equilibria and their stability in an asymmetric duopoly model of Kopel by using several tools based on symbolic computations. We explore the possible positions of the equilibria in Kopel's model. We discuss the possibility of the existence of multiple positive equilibria and establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a given number of equilibria to exist. Furthermore, if the two duopolists adopt the best response reactions or homogeneous adaptive expectations, we establish rigorous conditions for the existence of distinct numbers of positive equilibria for the first time.

A fractional-order difference Cournot duopoly game with long memory
We reconsider the Cournot duopoly problem in light of the theory for long memory. We introduce the Caputo fractional-order difference calculus to classical duopoly theory to propose a fractional-order discrete Cournot du…
Cournot duopoly games with isoelastic demands and diseconomies of scale
In this discussion draft, we investigate five different models of duopoly games, where the market is assumed to have an isoelastic demand function. Moreover, quadratic cost functions reflecting decreasing returns to scal…
Ambiguity aversion as a route to randomness in a duopoly game
The global dynamics is investigated for a duopoly game where the perfect foresight hypothesis is relaxed and firms are worst-case maximizers. Overlooking the degree of product substitutability as well as the sensitivity …
Group network effects in price competition
The partition of society into groups, polarization, and social networks are part of most conversations today. How do they influence price competition? We discuss Bertrand duopoly equilibria with demand subject to network…
Pricing with algorithms
This paper studies Markov perfect equilibria in a repeated duopoly model where sellers choose algorithms. An algorithm is a mapping from the competitor's price to own price. Once set, algorithms respond quickly. Customer…
