Concurrence imparfaite et rendements croissants. Une approche en termes de fair-play

Abstract

This paper develops the idea of forward induction in the context of increasing returns. The situation is modeled as a game of entry with a fixed cost and no marginal cost. The recursive equations that provide the solution of the infinitely repeated game are determined and solved for various cost configurations. Two cases may be distinguished: the monopoly may result either from history or from a durable competitive advantage. In both cases the competition is extreme since no threats, credible or not, are admitted.
