Abstract

This study proposes a model to make concurrent decisions on dynamic pricing and advertising to maximise firms' profitability over an infinite time horizon in a duopoly market. To this end, the Nerlove-Arrow pricing and advertising model is designed in the presence of shifting costs in a dynamic duopolistic competition as a differential game. The Nash equilibrium solution is defined based upon a set of Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman. Four scenarios are applied for economic interpretations and the efficacy of the model.
