Title： Quality, Upgrades and Equilibrium in a Dynamic Monopoly Market
Abstract： We examine an infinite horizon model of quality growth for a durable goods monopoly. Quality improvements may be sold in any desired bundles. Consumers are identical and for a quality improvement to have value the buyer must possess previous qualities: goods are upgrades. Subgame perfect seller payoffs range from capturing the full social surplus down to only the initial flow value of each good. For any discount factor, each of these payoffs is realized in a Markov perfect equilibrium that follows the socially efficient path. However, inefficient delay equilibria, with bundling, exist for innovation rates above a threshold.

[Theme]
In this workshop the recent advancement of experiments and theories will be discussed on superconductivity, emergent phenomena in biological material, chemical properties and economic problems of non-living and living systems. The aim of this workshop is to discuss such old but still new problems from multidisciplinary perspective and to understand the general features behind diversity in condensed matter physics, experimental chemistry, physical basis in biology and economic science. We also plan to invite young scientists as well as graduate students. We hope that such young scientists have chance to talk with invited speakers and organizers on their own interests. We do not want to have a tight schedule, but instead to have a relatively enough time for discussion.
