Entry and Exchanges of Cost Information
The literature on exchanges of information has ignored firms' entry decisions.

When entry decisions are endogenized in a competitive Cournot model with cost uncertainty, we find results that contrast sharply with current thinking on the welfare consequences of information sharing.
