Equilibria in a dynamic global game: the role of cohort effects

Abstract: "We introduce strategic waiting in a global game setting with irreversible investment. Players can wait in order to make a better informed decision. We allow for cohort effects and discuss when they arise endogenously in technology adoption problems with positive contemporaneous network effects. Formally, cohort effects lead to intra-period network effects being greater than inter-period network effects. Depending on the nature of the cohort effects, the dynamic game may or may not satisfy dynamic strategic complementarity. If it does, our model has a unique rationalizable outcome. Otherwise, there exists parameter values for which multiple equilibria arise because player have a strong incentive to invest at the same point in time others do." (author's abstract)
