''Double Bertrand competition among intermediaries when consumers can default'' |
( 2007, Vol. 4 No.7 ) |
|
|
This paper models a sequential double price competition among intermediaries when their expected revenue per sale is affected by consumers' default. If this revenue is non-monotonic with the asking price, the Walrasian outcome may not be an equilibrium and demand rationing may emerge instead. |
