| Tiivistelmä: | The paper provides a framework that accommodates a wide range of alternative assumptions regardÃng the nature of competition and types of uncertainty. It shows how risk aversion influences firms' best-response strategies. Only in the case of marginal cost uncertainty does higher risk aversion make competition unambiguously softer. The risk-averse best response strategies depend on the level of fixed costs. This fact is used to analyse strategic investment in capacity and the importance of accumulated profits. |
