Abstract

In this paper, the authors characterize the equilibria of Stackelberg duopolies with differentiated products, where the firms are fighting either in prices and quantities or in prices and serving capacities. It is shown that in the price-quantity case there is always rationing by the leader, but in the price-serving capacity case the leader is rationing only if the goods are close substitutes. Hence, rationing may appear as an equilibrium results. This kind of equilibrium is specific to the Stackelberg competition. Rationing never appears in a duopoly (with the same strategy spaces) where the firm moves are simultaneous.
