B.3 Long-run equilibrium
Note that if n is log-concave, then n (n - 1) Γd is increasing is n, as well as
n (n - 1) Γw and therefore the markup pe - c - we is decreasing in n (see [2]).
As a consequence, πe = N(p nw—c) — (F + S) is decreasing at least in an
hyperbolic manner and there exists a unique free entry equilibrium given by:
1 [ μd + μw ʌ = (F + S)
n2 (n — 1) I R∞∞ h2 (x) Hn-2 (x) dx R∞∞ g2 (x) Gn-2 (x) dx j N
C Proof of Proposition 4
The profit function is (where N is normalized to one, w.l.o.g.):
ei(wi,w-i,p) = £gi(wi) — Wi — c — ΛhPw)] NPw — (F + S).
The first-order condition is:
de<<w-w-<-p> = μ'dg/w ) — : Pw + r9,fWi) — Wi — c — 2Λhpiw] P = 0.

Moreover, we have:

We wish to show that any turning point is a maximum:

< 0.
FOC
If this condition is satisfied everywhere, the profit function πei (wi, w-i, p) is
quasi-concave, and the candidate symmetric equilibrium is Nash.
Note that, the first-order condition equation can be rewritten as:
gi (wi) — wi — c — 2ΛhPiw

Using this expression, we obtain after simplifications:
