Fields: Industrial Organization · Microeconomics · Game Theory Current Research Interests: My current research is focused on developing an alternative to the Bertrand price setting game in order to identify stable price vectors in models that do not possess pure strategy Bertrand-Nash equilibria. Specifically, I analyze as a non-transferable utility coalitional game, the set of payoffs that are feasible in the Bertrand price setting game. Using this technique, I am investigating the consequences of replacing continua of buyers, with finite discrete buyers, in models of spatial competition. In related work, I am developing a model of price competition in markets where buyers and sellers may only transact along the links of a network. Affiliations:
