On the microeconomic foundations of linear demand for differentiated products

TLDR
This paper provides a thorough exploration of the microeconomic foundations for the multi-variate linear demand function for differentiated products, which is widely used in industrial organization and finds that strict concavity of the quadratic utility function is critical for the demand system to be well defined.

Hump-shaped cross-price effects and the extensive margin in cross-border shopping

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of cross-border shopping on grocery demand in Norway using monthly store*category sales data from Norway's largest grocery chain 2011-2016 is examined and the sensitivity of demand to foreign price is hump-shaped and greatest 30-60 minutes' driving distance from the closest foreign store.

Bounding payoffs in repeated games with private monitoring: n-player games

TL;DR: A simple upper bound on the Nash equilibrium payoff set at a fixed discount factor in repeated games with imperfect private monitoring is provided and can be applied “off-the-shelf” to any repeated game.

Price and quantity competition in a differentiated duopoly

TL;DR: The authors analyzes the duality of prices and quantities in a differentiated duopoly and shows that if firms can only make two types of binding contracts with consumers, the price contract and the quantity contract, it is a dominant strategy for each firm to choose the quantity (price) contract, provided the goods are substitutes (complements).

Oligopoly Pricing: Old Ideas and New Tools

Xavier Vives
TL;DR: In this article, Vives applies a modern game-theoretic approach to develop a theory of oligopoly pricing, using two-stage games, the modeling of competition under asymmetric information and mechanism design theory, and the theory of repeated and dynamic games.
