Methods for Calculating Prices and Margins Using Aggregative Games

Description

Computes equilibrium product margins and prices using the aggregative games technique described in Nocke and Schutz (2018). Assumes that firms are playing a Nash-Bertrand pricing game with either Logit or CES demand

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'Logit'
calcMarginsAG(object, preMerger = TRUE, level = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'CES'
calcMarginsAG(object, preMerger = TRUE, level = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'Logit'
calcPricesAG(object, preMerger = TRUE, isMax = FALSE, subset, ...)

Arguments

object	An instance of one of the classes listed above.
preMerger	If TRUE, returns pre-merger outcome. If FALSE, returns post-merger outcome. Default is TRUE.
level	IF TRUE, return margins in dollars. If FALSE, returns margins in proportions. Default for most classes is FALSE.
