构建两个简单寡头模型(同质与差异化产品),证明在不完美监督下存在贝叶斯完美均衡策略序列,其期望现值可逼近最优卡特尔利润,且比Green和Porter(1984)的策略更平滑、利润更高。

Abstract

In this paper, two simple oligopoly models are considered: the first with homogeneous and the second with differentiated products. Differently from previous contributions, this paper shows that, with imperfect monitoring, there exists a sequence of symmetric strategy profiles (with stochastic punishment) that are Bayesian perfect equilibria and whose expected present value approaches the optimal cartel one, with the desired level of approximation, as the discount factor converges to one. The strategy is similar to that proposed in 1984 by E. J. Green and R. H. Porter but has a smooth structure and, in general, it allows for higher profits.
