Abstract

Advance production served as a means of quantity commitment. This paper shows that the pre-emption acts as strategic substitutes between oligopolists. We also show that a firm's incentive for advance production arises only if it has a quantity-setting opponent, irrespective of the firm's own strategic variable (i.e., price or quantity) and the characteristics of the concered products (i.e. substitutes or complements).
