Tiivistelmä: | Duopolistic interaction between a small firm and a large established firm is considered and compared to guerrilla warfare. The paper investigates a "hit and run" equilibrium in which the small firm enters the market, stays there for several periods, exits, stays out for several periods, and the reenters. Occasionally there may be a price war (or retaliation), but the small firm may also exit voluntarily, thereby avoiding possible confrontation. When a small firm coexists in a duopolistic market with a large firm, the strategies used by the small firm can resemble guerrilla warfare. |
