''Environmental corporate social responsibility : A note on the first-mover advantage under price competition''
( 2017, Vol. 37 No.1 )
 
 
We consider a model in which two firms choose whether to adopt environmental corporate social responsibility policies and then face Stackelberg competition under price competition. We show that the first-mover has the advantage, which is in contrast to the second-mover advantage typically seen in standard price competition models.
 
 
Keywords: corporate social responsibility, implicit carbon price, first-mover advantage
