Abstract
We study two competing firms’ incentives to share demand information and their production timing strategies. One firm’s production time is fixed in her tradition of manufacturing previous product models. The other firm strategically chooses to produce before, simultaneously with, or after the routine firm. The two firms choose whether or not to disclose their private demand information, and then make quantity decisions based on available demand information either concurrently or sequentially. We find that both firms sharing information is the unique equilibrium outcome when the demand uncertainty is low, which is in stark contrast to the extant literature on horizontal information sharing with exogenous production timing.
