Repeated Cournot model with justifiable punishments

Author

Abstract

We study subgame perfect equilibria with justifiable punishments in a repeated Cournot model with more than two firms. To implement any of such equilibria, our intuitive strategy design may not be further simplified given the requirement for justifiable punishments.
