we substitute those expressions into (A.3) yielding

Further rearranging (A.5) gives rise to (10) in the text.
Appendix B: Linear Strategy
We will show below that (15) represents a linear strategy. Under symmetry, rewrite the HJB
equation (6) as follows:
ρV (Z)= max [p (a1, a2,..., an) Z + V0(Z) {n (1 — a) — δZ}] . (B.1)
ai∈[0,1]
Suppose that the value function is linear, that is, V (Z)=A+BZ,whereA and B are unknown
constants. Substitute this hypothetical value function into the above HJB equation to get
ρ [A + BZ] = max
— Z + B {n (1 — a) — δZ}
(B.2)
Substituting further the (interior) first-order condition (8) , that is, a = r (n — 1) Z/Bn2 into
a in (B.2), we obtain
pA + pBZ = 1Z + B

Comparing the coefficient of Z and the constant in both sides of (B3) yields
pA — Bn = 0 and pB---1-------+ + Bδ = 0.
