Abstract

This paper proposes a tool to control cooperative advertising which increases the goodwill of companies operating in a competitive market. We introduce the lag between advertising exposure and customer reaction in the goodwill dynamics evolved à la Nerlove–Arrow. As a result, we obtain a cooperative differential game with immediate and delayed effects of control variables for which we investigate the optimal solution. We examine the role the pre-coalition programmes and the length of delayed response in generating goodwill.
