We model a olgooly market fag uerta demad, where eah frm hooe a t trategy a uly futo relatg quatty to re. uh trategy allow a roduer to adat better to the uerta evromet tha ether ettg a fxed re or a fxed quatty. We aly model of uly futo ometto olgooly uder demad uertaty, develoed by Klemerer ad Meyer [5]. We aume that the uerta demad a futo of the re ad the tohat hok. We derbe the hok by PARMA ytem (erod ARMA model). Our am th aer to rovde a realt a oble model of olgoolt ometto gle erod game. Our belef that the model we aly better rereet olgooly behavour tha tadard Bertrad ad Courot model.. INTRODUCTION.. uly futo Eoomt have log debated whether t make more ee to thk of frm a hoog re or quatte a trateg varable. I the world wth uertaty a frm may ot wat to ommt to ether of thee mle tye of trategy, or a all deo be deferred utl the reoluto of the uertaty. A lot of deo oerg ze ad truture of the orgaato mut be made advae. Thee deo mltly determe a uly futo that relate the quatty the frm wll ell to the re the market wll bear. uh a uly futo allow the frm to adat better to hagg odto tha doe the mly ommtmet to a fxed re (Courot) or quatty (Bertrad). Ay equlbrum oet requre ome tory about how frm adut to uertaty. For examle, a tohat Courot game, frm mut adut ther re to the realato of demad, ad a tohat Bertrad game, frm mut adut ther quatte. Oly uly futo equlbrum do frm adut to the uertaty otmal maer gve ther omettor behavour - wth tohat Courot or Bertrad, frm would wh to alter ther behavour after learg omethg about demad [5]... PARMA model To alulate uly futo the reee of demad uertaty frt we have to derbe exogeou hok. The hok may be oeted wth eaoalty ad ome exogeou eoom odto

2 (e.g. rad eoom growth). Therefore we aled PARMA model (erod ARMA model) to derbe the hok. ere wth erod orrelato hould ot be modelled wth the eaoal autoregreve movg-average (ARMA) la. Beaue ARMA model, otrary to ther ame, are atually tatoary model wth large ( abolute value) autoovarae at lag that are multle of the erod. A flexble la of hortmemory model that have the autoovarae erodte the la of erod autoregreve movg-average model (PARMA). Dete ther alablty, redto ad lkelhood evaluato method for PARMA model rema relatvely uexlored, eeally whe omared wth ther tatoary autoregreve movg-average (ARMA) outerart. If modelled by PARMA( model that mea the equee fulfl the followg odto: q b ( ) a ( ), () where the oeffet are erod wth the ame erod T ad the ovato are deedet wth zero mea. If = the for P b() b()... b( T ) the oluto of the ytem erodally orrelated that mea: E(( E(( E T )( E m T E )( m m T )) E m T Tme ere wth erod orrelato aturally are lmatology, hydrology, gal roeg ad eoom. Perod movg-average roee do ot aear to be ueful eoom. Hee, the eoometr aaly of erodally orrelated tme ere oetrate o PAR model: )). b ( ), () where the oeffet ad the ovato have the ame roerte lke the geeral model [3]..3. Olgooly We oder oooeratve olgooly model, for whh we have to make followg aumto []: oumer are re taker, all frm rodue homogeou rodut, there o etry to the market, frm olletvely have market ower ad take ow re or quatty deo deedetly. Three of the bet-kow olgooly model are the Courot, Bertrad ad takelberg model. I the Courot ad takelberg model frm et outut level (quatty roduto), wherea the Bertrad model frm et re. I the Courot ad Bertrad model all frm lay at the ame tme, wherea the takelberg model oe frm et t quatty roduto before the other. Thee dfferee the ato reult dfferet equlbrum. A lot of reearhe were made to how whh equlbrum the bet for the efed market. But aaretly uh mly tratege very ofte do t ofrm the exetato. That why we deded to aly uly futo equlbrum, whh relate the quatty the frm wll ell to the re the market wll bear. I the world wth exogeou demad uertaty a frm ha a et of roft maxmg ot (oe for eah realato of uertaty). It roved aer [5] that th ettg, a frm a geerally aheve hgher exeted roft by ommttg to a uly futo tha by ommttg to a fxed re or quatty, beaue uly

3 futo allow better adatato to the uertaty..4. Demad ad ot futo P I our model we aly uly futo equlbrum olgooly uder demad uertaty. Therefore we gve ome eoom ba to further oderato. The geeraled demad futo lt varable that fluee demad, for examle: re of rodut, re of related good, exetato of re hage, tate ad referee, advertg exedture, ome er ata. For ue maageral deo-makg, the demad futo mut be made exlt. The relato betwee quatty ad eah demad-determg varable mut be learly ad exltly efed. Q a (3) a a3 3 a4 4 The demad futo efe the relato betwee the quatty demaded ad all varable that determe demad. The demad urve a art of the demad futo that exre the relato betwee the re harged for a rodut ad the quatty demaded, holdg otat the effet of all other varable. To exame the relato betwee re ad the quatty demaded we mut hold otat other varable. Oe of the mot mortat feature of the re elatty oet that t rovde a ueful ummary meaure of the effet of a re hage o reveue. A good etmate of re elatty make t oble to make aurate etmate of the effet of re hage o total reveue. For deo-makg uroe, three ef rage of re elatty have bee detfed: elat demad (ε < -), utary elatty (ε = -) ad elat demad (ε > -) [4]. The horzotal le, whh how Fgure, derbe the rodut that omletely etve to the re (elatty ). Other le how dfferet rage of re elatty. P * ε < - ε > - ε = - Fgure. Pre elatty of demad Cae whe ε = or ε = are rare real world, but the mooole that ell eete uh a harmaeutal eoy relatvely elat demad, wherea frm hghly omettve market uh a groery retalg fae hghly elat demad urve [4]. Aordg to elatty of the demad, whh oeted wth market truture, we aalyed eergy market ad we aumed that the re elatty of demad hould be about,5. All lear demad urve are ubet to varyg elatte at dfferet ot o the urve, ee Fgure. Utary elatty the ot where the effet of a re hage exatly offet by the effet of a hage quatty demaded ad the frm aheve the hghet total reveue. Beaue eah frm ted to aheve the hghet reveue therefore t alway oerate ear the utary elatty. P Elat rage ε < - Utary elatty ε = - Ielat rage ε > - Fgure. Elatte alog demad urve. Q Q
