| Tiivistelmä: | Scale economies are commonplace in operations, yet because of analytical challenges, relatively little is known about how firms should compete in their presence. This paper presents a model of competition between two firms that face scale economies (i.e. each firm's cost per unit of demand is decreasing in demand). A general framework is used, which incorporates competition between two service providers with price- and time-sensitive demand (a queuing game) and competition between two retailers with fixed-ordering costs and price-sensitive consumers (an Economic Order Quantity game). |
