Abstract

An incumbent biologic pharmaceutical manufacturer’s strategic entry-deterring decisions are examined in a two-player game. The Nash-equilibrium solutions show that the likelihood of the incumbent choosing deterrence investments rises with market size; but the optimal entry choice has a non-monotonic relationship with the size of the market. The paper also examines the optimal choices of the social planner seeking to foster competition through biosimilars entry and discourage entry-deterrence.
