Economic Affairs, EarlyView.
Abstract The European football (soccer) market increasingly funnels rents to superstar players and intermediaries while weakening competitive balance. We trace this dynamic to two forces: (a) technological innovation that globalised broadcasting and magnified superstar returns, and (b) legal rulings boosting player mobility and causing bidding wars ...

We Value Your Privacy: Behavior‐Based Pricing Under Endogenous Privacy

Journal of Economics &Management Strategy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study a duopoly model of behavior‐based pricing in which consumers can either disclose or hide their data. We contrast two data policies. Under an open data policy, disclosed data is shared with all firms. In the unique equilibrium, all consumers disclose, and firms price discriminate, leading to welfare losses from inefficient poaching ...

Computing equilibria of Cournot oligopoly models with mixed-integer quantities [PDF]

, 2017
We consider Cournot oligopoly models in which some variables represent indivisible quantities. These models can be addressed by computing equilibria of Nash equilibrium problems in which the players solve mixed-integer nonlinear problems.

The Optimal Bribe: Price Versus Quantity Competition in Oligopolies

The Manchester School, EarlyView.
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. Our focus is a three‐stage Bertrand game under incomplete information in a differentiated goods market.

Endogenous Competition Strategies With R&D in a Vertically Mixed Market Under Forward Passive Ownership

The Manchester School, Volume 94, Issue 2, Page 234-248, March 2026.

Entry Deterrence, Macroeconomic Equilibria and Pro‐Competitive Policies

Metroeconomica, Volume 77, Issue 1, Page 71-81, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper achieves a macroeconomic equilibrium which is microfounded on an oligopolistic entry deterrence game à la Dixit‐Spence. This equilibrium has implications for pro‐competitive policies which differ from those obtained by models based on a monopolistic competition framework: (i) positive effects on employment and real wage of a policy ...
