The Optimal Bribe: Price Versus Quantity Competition in Oligopolies
The Manchester School, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 378-397, July 2026.ABSTRACT We analyze an entry deterrence model between an incumbent firm and a potential entrant, where the incumbent strategically offers bribes to local officials to raise entry barriers.

Incentives to Innovate in a Cournot Oligopoly [PDF]
The Quarterly Journal of Economics, 1991 We study the R&D performance of Cournot aligopolists. To this end we model a one-shot noncooperative game in which firms invest in R&D, with the aim of being first in an uncertain competition for a patentable cost-reducing innovation. The incentives to innovate are market profits and not exogenously given prizes as in most of the earlier ...

Cross‐Ownership and Endogenous R&D Risk in Cournot Triopoly
The Manchester School, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 421-437, July 2026.ABSTRACT We examine how cross‐ownership influences firms' endogenous R&D risk‐taking in a Cournot triopoly, where two “insider” firms hold passive equity stakes in each other, and a third firm remains unaffiliated. Firms invest in stochastic R&D that lowers marginal costs and choose their risk level—measured by outcome variance—prior to quantity ...

Strategic delegation and risk‐taking in R&D: Partial delegation versus full delegation
International Journal of Economic Theory, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 183-207, June 2026.Abstract We examine firm's risk‐taking decisions in R&D under two different delegation strategies between partial delegation (PD) and full delegation (FD): FD authorizes both quantity and R&D risk but PD only authorizes quantity. Cournot firms under the FD set higher profit weights at the expected value of cost realization, which can lessen competition,

Do carbon prices affect stock prices?
Journal of Financial Research, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 631-665, Summer 2026.Abstract We explore how carbon pricing affects corporate financial performance during Phase 3 of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). We find that the relationship between carbon prices and stock prices depends critically on the proportion of verified emissions covered by freely allocated ETS allowances: For firms with a greater ...

Price Discrimination in Dynamic Cournot Competition
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2019 This paper introduces a new Cournot duopoly game and gives an applied study for price discrimination in a market by dynamic methods. One of two oligopolies has two different prices for a homogeneous product, while the other charges one kind of price.
