In such model we show tht there re two pure strtegy su-gme perfect equiliri.

Introduction In symmetric duopoly with differentited goods Tnk (0) hs shown the following results. If firms mximize their reltive profits the choice of strtegic vriles price or output is irrelevnt to the outcome of the gme in the sense tht the equilirium outputs prices nd profits of the firms re the sme in ll situtions. Thus ny comintion of strtegy choice y the firms constitutes su-gme perfect equilirium in two-stge gme such tht in the first stge the firms choose their strtegic vriles nd in the second stge they determine the vlues of their strtegic vriles. Symmetry mens tht demnd functions re symmetric nd firms hve the sme cost function. This conclusion cn e extended to symmetric oligopoly nd n symmetric duopoly. But it cnnot e extended to n symmetric oligopoly. Asymmetry mens tht demnd functions my e symmetric or firms my hve different cost functions.

2 A. Stoh nd Y. Tnk Strtegic vriles in symmetric oligopoly economists. Plese see Gions nd Murphy (990) Lu (0) Mtsumur Mtsushim nd Cto (0) Miller nd Pzgl (00) Veg-Redondo (997) nd Schffer (989). In Veg-Redondo (997) it is rgued tht in homogeneous good cse if firms mximize their reltive profits competitive equilirium cn e induced. But in the cse of differentited goods the result under reltive profit mximiztion is different from the competitive result. We think tht seeking for reltive profit or utility is sed on the nture of humn. Even if person erns ig money if his rother/sister or close friend erns igger money thn him he is not sufficiently hppy nd my e disppointed. On the other hnd even if he is very poor if his neighor is more poor he my e consoled y tht fct. In this pper we consider simple model of the choice of strtegic vriles under reltive profit mximiztion y firms in n symmetric oligopoly with differentited sustitutle goods such tht there re three firms Firm nd demnd functions re liner nd symmetric mrginl costs of the firms re constnt there is no fixed cost Firm nd hve the sme cost function ut Firm hs different cost function. In such model we show the following result. There re two pure strtegy su-gme perfect equiliri. One is such tht ll firms choose the outputs s their strtegic vriles nd the other is such tht Firm nd choose the outputs s their strtegic vriles nd Firm chooses the price s its strtegic vrile. In the next section we present model of this pper. In Section we nlyze equiliri in the second stge of the gme. In this stge (the mngers of) firms determine the vlues of their strtegic vriles so s to mximize their reltive profits. In Section 4 we investigte equiliri in the first stge of the gme. In this stge the owners of firms choose the strtegic vriles so s to mximize the reltive profits of the firms. In Section 5 we riefly mention the results when the owners of firms seek to mximize the solute profits of the firms nd we show the existence of four su-gme perfect equiliri. Miller nd Pzgl (00) presented similr study. They showed the equivlence of price strtegy nd output strtegy in delegtion gme of duopoly when owners of firms control mngers of firms seek to mximize n pproprite comintion of solute nd reltive profits. In their model the owner of ech firm determines the weight on the rivl firm s profit in the ojective function of its firm. We do not consider however such delegtion gme. In our nlysis owners of firms choose the strtegic vriles.. The model There re three firms. Firm nd. They produce differentited sustitutle goods. The outputs nd prices of the goods of the firms re denoted y x x x p p nd p. The inverse demnd functions re p = x x x () p = x x x () p = x x x. () We ssume > 0 nd 0 < <. From () nd () from () nd () nd from () nd () we hve p + p = ( + )( x + x ) x p + p = ( + )( x + x ) x p + p = ( + )( x + x) x. Sustituting them into () () nd () we otin the following ordinry demnd functions. 6
3 A. Stoh nd Y. Tnk Strtegic vriles in symmetric oligopoly x = [( ) ( ) ] ( )( + ) + p + p + p (4) x = [( ) ( ) ] ( )( + ) + p + p + p (5) x = [( ) ( ) ] ( )( + ) + p + p + p. (6) The inverse nd ordinry demnd functions re symmetric. The constnt mrginl costs of Firm nd re c c nd c. There is no fixed cost. In Section nd 4 we ssume c = c nd c c. The reltive profit of firm is defined s the difference etween its (solute) profit nd the verge of the (solute) profits of the rivl firms. We consider two-stge gme. In the first stge (owners of) the firms choose their strtegic vriles price or output nd in the second stge (mngers of) the firms determine the vlues of their strtegic vriles. In Section 4 we consider cse where owners of firms choose the strtegic vriles to mximize the reltive profits nd in Section 5 we riefly mention cse where owners of firms choose the strtegic vriles to mximize the solute profits.. The second stge of the gme.. One firm is price setting firm In this susection we ssume tht one of the firms is price setting firm tht is it chooses the price s its strtegic vrile nd other two firms re quntity setting firms tht is they choose the outputs s their strtegic vriles. The price setting firm is Firm nd the quntity setting firms re Firm nd. The output nd the price of the good of Firm re denoted y x nd p nd so on. The ordinry demnd function for Firm is x = p x x. (7) From this nd () () nd () the inverse demnd functions for Firm nd re derived s follows. p = ( ) + p ( ) x ( ) x (8) nd p = ( ) + p ( ) x ( ) x. (9) Denote the reltive profits of Firm nd y nd. Then = [( ) + p ( ) x ( ) x] x cx {( p x x)( p c) + [( ) + ( ) ( ) ] p x x x cx nd = ( p x x )( p c ) [( ) + p ( ) x ( ) x ] x c x + [( ) + p ( ) x ( ) x ] x c x = [( ) + p ( ) x ( ) x] x cx {( p x x)( p c) + [( ) + ( ) ( ) ]. p x x x cx 7

Arrnging the terms p + 4( ) x + ( ) x = ( ) c c (0) 4 p + x + x = + c () p + ( ) x + 4( ) x = ( ) c c () re derived. From (0) () () we get the equilirium price of Firm nd the equilirium outputs of Firm nd s follows. p ( )(4 ) + c + (4 + ) c + c p = ( + )(4 ) q ( )(4 )(4 + ) (6 7 ) c + ( )(4 + ) c + (4 + 5 ) c x = ( )( + )(4 )(4 + ) nd q ( )(4 )(4 + ) + (4 + 5 ) c + ( )(4 + ) c (6 7 ) c x =.

The quntity setting firm is Firm nd the price setting firms re Firm nd. The inverse demnd function for Firm is p = [( ) ( )( + ) x + p + p ]. () + From this nd (4) (5) nd (6) the ordinry demnd functions for Firm nd re derived s follows. x = ( ) ( ) ( )( ) { + + p + [( ) ( )( + ) x + p + p ] + p } (4) + = {( ) p + p ( ) x } nd x = ( ) ( ) ( )( + ) { + p + [( ) ( )( + ) x + p + p ] + p } (5) + = {( ) + p p ( ) x }.

Conclusion We hve studied the choice of strtegic vriles under reltive profit mximiztion in n symmetric oligopoly with differentited sustitutle goods. We considered cse with three firms such tht two firms hve the sme cost functions nd the other one firm hs different cost function nd hve shown tht there re two pure strtegy su-gme perfect equiliri. In duopoly nd symmetric oligopoly the equivlence of price nd output strtegies under reltive profit mximiztion hve een proved. In n symmetric oligopoly however they re not equivlent. On the other hnd in the lst section we hve shown tht if the owners of firms seek to mximize the solute profits of their firms even though (the mngers of) firms mximize their reltive profits there re four su-gme perfect equiliri.
