On complex dynamics of Cournot-Bertrand game with asymmetric market information

作者:

Highlights:

• A Cournot-Bertrand duopoly game that is characterized as bounded rational firms is introduced by a discrete dynamical map.

• The second firm in the game is characterized by knowing some information about the next time production of its opponent.

• The game’s equilibrium points are calculated and their stability conditions are obtained.

• The stability of Nash point gives rise to periodic and chaotic attractors.

• The structure of basins of attraction for some attracting set changes from simple to complex.

• The critical curves of the map’s game show that it is noninvertible.
