A decentralized incentive mechanism for company-wide energy consumption reduction
… from our investigation on a more general model: Cournot competition under a joint constraint. For this model, we study the equilibrium behavior under free competition and compare the profit and total surplus achieved with the corresponding values when different levels of coordination are …

Optimising the mix and structure of successor companies in electricity market restructuring: the theory and evidence of Indonesia
… discusses the law and economics of imperfect competition in electricity markets. Market power, indicating the ability to raise prices profitably above the competitive level, tends to be a significant problem in the aftermath of electricity market restructuring. In the process of regulatory …

Dynamic pricing with demand learning under competition
… where firms compete by setting prices (Bertrand competition) or by allocating quantities (Cournot competition) dynamically over a finite selling horizon. The price-demand relationship is modeled as a parametric function, whose parameters are unknown, but learned through a data driven approach. …

Trading natural gas in the Asia Pacific: Theory and evidence
… competitive behaviours in term of perfect competition, Cournot competition and Cournot with a competitive fringe. Theoretical and simulation results show a low supply risk, and high supply diversification leads to a low market price and a high consumer surplus under different strategic …

Fueling an Energy Transition: Designing an Optimal Portfolio of Competing Fuels Under Uncertainty
… improving costs of emerging fuels, market competition, and the delay between capacity investment and production. To address this complexity, we develop a stochastic dynamic optimization model incorporating dynamic decision-making, Nash-Cournot equilibrium between competing firms, and …

Capacity, entry deterrence, and horizontal merger
… stage the firms engage in capacity-constrained Cournot competition. We show that the free-rider problem may occur: there are situations where both entry prevention and allowing entry are equilibria but entry prevention is Pareto superior for the incumbent firms. We also show that increasing the …

Essays in Microeconomic Theory
… simultaneously compete in the manner of Cournot competition, selecting the quantity of resource sold along each of their out-links. The linking structure represents each intermediary's opportunity to sell the resource. We derive an analytical solution determining the quantity decisions of …

Nash equilibrium problems in power markets and product design: Analysis and algorithms
… and computation of equilibria in noncooperative Cournot and Bertrand games. The application of focus for Cournot competition is power markets while that for Bertrand competition is product design. We consider Cournot-based models for strategic behavior in power markets while Bertrandbased models …

ESSAYS ON HOSPITAL REIMBURSEMENT AND QUALITY OF HEALTHCARE PROVISION
… reimbursement schemes that induce quality competition among health providers affects the choice of quality of care provided to patients and how these choices depend on the labor supply constraints in the healthcare labor market. We build a theoretical model that explicitly incorporates the …

Revenue Fees Garner More Profit Than Per-Unit Fees.
<p>This note compares the profitability of proportional fees and per unit fees. We find that the former is always more profitable than the latter for all downward-sloping demand functions, with both a fixed number of firms and free entry.</p>
