![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Existence and efficiency of oligopoly equilibrium under toll and capacity competition Existence and efficiency of oligopoly equilibrium under toll and capacity competition](/preview/png/1023660.png)
This paper studies the existence and efficiency of oligopoly equilibrium under simultaneous toll and capacity competition in a parallel-link network subject to congestion. We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of a pure-strategy oligopoly equilibrium and then derive upper bounds on the efficiency loss of the oligopoly equilibrium over the social optimum under different inverse demand function assumptions, respectively. Furthermore, we show that these bounds are demand-function free and only dependent upon the number of competitive roads.
► We present an equilibrium analysis of oligopolistic competition in a congested network with parallel roads.
► We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of pure-strategy equilibria.
► We derive upper bounds on the efficiency loss of the oligopoly equilibrium.
► Upper bounds are only dependent upon the number of roads.
► The increase in competition improves the efficiency.
