Economics Bulletin, 2017, vol. 37, issue 1, 214-221

Abstract: We consider a model in which two firms choose whether to adopt environmental corporate social responsibility policies and then face Stackelberg competition under price competition. We show that the first-mover has the advantage, which is in contrast to the second-mover advantage typically seen in standard price competition models.
