Forecasting competitive behavior
International Journal of Forecasting, 1988Abstract Competitive analysis is used to forecast how, where and when AT&T will integrate backward into the production of its own local access. By using a net present value framework to model AT&T's decision on whether to create additional capacity for collecting and distributing its long-distance traffic, a realistic assessment of the scope and ...

Competitive Behavior and Perceived Aggression
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1976In groups of 39 male and 39 female undergraduates played a reaction-time game in which descriptions of a player's shock settings were constant or consistently below or above another player's; wins were varied.

Meeting the Competition: Commitment and Competitive Behavior
2012In this paper, we represent 'meet the competition' guarantees as the endogenous outcome of a non-cooperative game. We model the phenomenon by assuming that firms compete in supply schedules in a two-stage process. We assume that the choice of a negatively sloped supply schedule is costly. In particular, we use Cournot behavior as a benchmark.

Dynamic Oligopolistic Competition and Quasi-Competitive Behavior
2002Many real world markets exhibit features of imperfect competition, most likely oligopolistic structures. Since oligopolistic markets generate welfare losses to society, they are the focus of regulatory and/or procompetitive actions. One popular action against oligopolistic markets structures is the provision of free access into these markets.

Competitive Behavior In The HMO Marketplace
Health Affairs, 2002Are health maintenance organizations (HMOs) less profitable in more competitive markets, and does competition erode unusually high profits over time? To answer these questions, we examined profit rates (as a proportion of revenues) in 1994 and 1997 for all HMOs in 259 metropolitan areas. We found that profits were significantly lower on average in 1994

Behavior, Production and Competition
2005Previous studies have found underestimation of risk, or overconfidence, to be a key factor in entrepreneurship. We use a simple model of competitive equilibrium to show that an irrational under-estimation of risk provides a competitive advantage leading to a greater chance of survival under competitive pressures.

Competitive Behavior in Local Physician Markets
Medical Care Research and Review, 1999Competition often is viewed as a mechanism for controlling cost. Competition may work well in urban areas with many providers; competition may not exist in rural areas with few providers. The authors use the empirical framework developed by Bresnahan and Reiss to analyze the entry behavior of physicians into local markets to determine the level of ...

Detecting Competitive Behaviors in Conflicts
2019We developed a method for detecting aggressive agents in egress simulations with a cellular-automata model. There are two types of agents, which are normal agents and aggressive agents. Aggressive agents tend to push out others in conflicts and try to move to their target cell aggressively.

Competitive Elections and Campaign Behavior
2022This chapter situates electoral campaigns against the backdrop of Indonesia's transition to competitive elections since 1998. It traces the evolution of the electoral system and proposes a model of how it—and other factors such as campaign norms, resources, and values—shape the decisions that candidates make.
