Monopolistic Competition and New Products: A Conjectural Equilibrium Approach

Serie

  • MPRA Paper

Resumen

  • In this paper we generalize the heterogeneous risk adverse agents’ model of diffusion of new products in a multi-firm, heterogeneous and interacting agent’s environment. We use a model of choice under uncertainty based on Bayesian theory. We discuss the possibility of product failures, the set of equilibria, their stability and some welfare properties.
