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,

Strategic environmental corporate social responsibility in a vertically differentiated duopoly
International Journal of Economic Theory, Volume 22, Issue 2, Page 214-236, June 2026.Abstract We investigate firms' strategic incentives to adopt environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR) in the presence of quality–cost differences within a vertically differentiated duopoly. We find that (i) the low‐quality firm chooses a higher (lower) ECSR level than the high‐quality firm when the low‐quality firm has a relatively more ...

Actors in these situations sometimes employ hardball tactics to block outcomes they dislike, but at the risk of causing coordination ...

Serial Investing and Strategic Commitment in Markets With Unknown Competitors
Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 376-397, Summer 2026.ABSTRACT We study how serial investors who regularly face unknown competitors attempt to make their projects dominant. Innovating in new markets often involves uncertainty over the nature of the final product and who the key competitors will be. Such projects also have long‐term funding needs, so a commitment to provide the necessary funds imparts a ...

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2017 Many researchers have used quadratic utility function to study its influences on economic games with product differentiation. Such games include Cournot, Bertrand, and a mixed-type game called Cournot-Bertrand. Within this paper, a cubic utility function
