Abstract
We analyze the equilibrium of a behavioral newsvendor game featuring oligopoly competition, where each newsvendor’s decision is driven by a reference effect regarding her potential profit. We find that the equilibrium order quantities are characterized by behavioral critical fractiles, where each newsvendor only accounts for the actions of competitors with smaller behavioral critical fractiles. Our result generalizes findings from recent literature on duopoly newsvendor competition with reference effects.
