In Koçaş and Kiyak (2006) we fail to benefit from an already existing solution to the asymmetric firm pricing model as presented in Baye et al. (1992). In their work, Baye et al. (1992) provide a characterization of the equilibria in an oligopoly when uninformed customers do not allocate themselves equally across firms and when reservation prices across firms are homogenous. The characterization of the equilibria when reservation prices across firms are homogenous (propositions 1 through 4 in Koçaş and Kiyak, 2006) is a substantial component of the theoretical part of our paper and hence we recognize the precedence of Baye et al. (1992) in presenting this characterization. References Baye, M.R., Kovenock, D., de Vries, C.G., 1992. It takes two-to-Tango: equilibria in a model of sales. Games and Economic Behavior 4, 493–510.
