520 3 |a This paper analyzes imitation dynamics in Cournot oligopolies when firms imitate both rivaling firms and firms in other markets. The resulting tension between relative and absolute performance leads to a unique prediction strictly between the Nash equilibrium and perfectly competitive outcomes, which is fully characterized by a simple formula. The outcome becomes less competitive as the number of markets increases, i.e., as firms receive more information about firms in other markets. A link with relative payoff maximization is provided. An extension of the benchmark model reveals that sophisticated firms imitating across asymmetric markets converge to a related but somewhat less competitive outcome.
