A Note on Endogenous Timing in Duopoly Games

Article Preview

Abstract:

We provide a general analysis of duopoly game in endogenous timing. The Nash equilibrium outcomes are compared with Stackelberg equilibrium outcomes. The different sets of conditions are provided for yielding respectively simultaneous and sequential plays and these conditions only depend on the monotonicities of the reaction functions and the payoffs functions in rival strategic variables.
