题目:Competitive Advertising and Pricing

  作者: Raphael Boleslavsky, Ilwoo Hwang, and Kyungmin Kim (University of Miami)   摘要: We consider an oligopoly market in which each firm decides not only its price but also how much information about its product to reveal to consumers. Utilizing a recently developed technique in information design, we fully characterize symmetric pure-strategy market equilibria of this game. We illustrate how a firm’s advertising strategy is shaped by its pricing decision and how the equilibrium advertising level depends on the underlying distribution of consumers’ true values. A direct but important corollary of our analysis is that more intense competition (more firms in the market) induces each firm to reveal more product information.   主讲人信息: Ilwoo Hwang is an assistant professor in economics at the University of Miami.
