Cooperation and Managerial Delegation in Duopoly Revisited

Bulletin of Economic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper shows that the cooperative game with managerial delegation (in both the Cournot and Bertrand settings) and the Bertrand benchmark game (without delegation or cooperation) are equivalent in duopoly. The cooperative solution may be the equilibrium of the game, and this outcome can be beneficial for consumer surplus and welfare when ...

Cross‐Ownership and Welfare‐Inferior Price Competition with Relative Profit Delegation Contracts

Bulletin of Economic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider management reward contracts based on relative profit performance under cross‐ownership and find nonequivalence of price and quantity competition. We also examine an endogenous choice of competition mode under unilateral cross‐ownership and show that the welfare‐inferior price competition can appear unless the product's ...

Colonial wars and trade restrictions: Fighting for exclusive trading rights

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper develops a model of colonial wars and trade restrictions, in which two metropolises compete for control over a colony's trade policy. In equilibrium, the metropolis that gains control can improve its terms of trade by restricting its rival's access to colonial trade.

Constructed value of information with iterative scoring and parametric uncertainty to identify management‐relevant research priorities for a declining raptor species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Constructed value of information (CVoI) is an expert elicitation decision‐analytic tool used to prioritize sources of uncertainty based on their potential to improve decision outcomes if resolved. Despite increased application of CVoI, the robustness of CVoI prioritization of sources of uncertainty relative to differences in expert elicitation

Block scheduling in practice: An optimal decomposition strategy for nonidentical operating rooms

Decision Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract We develop and implement a Master Surgery Schedule for a real‐life hospital, assigning operating room (OR) time to surgical specialties over a multi‐week horizon. Through action research, we identify a critical operational challenge: the issue of split blocks. Split blocks allow two specialties to share an OR on the same day—one in the morning,
