Oligopolio e incertidumbre sobre la demanda: una revisión

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to carry out a review of the academic literature on information exchange agreements about demand in oligopolistic models and the derivation of some political consequences with respect to the effectiveness and limits of these agreements. The main problem is in knowing how and to what extend these agreements affect the welfare of producers, consumers and society as a whole. At a glance there are several factors involved: The type of competition (price versus quantities), the nature of uncertainty (private versus common), the nature of goods (substitutive versus complementary) and the number of firms.
