Timing of market entry is one of the most important strategic decisions a firm must make, but its decision process becomes convoluted with information and payoff externalities. The threat of competition pushes firms to enter earlier to preempt their rivals while the possibility of learning makes them cautiously wait for others to take action. This combination amounts to a new class of timing games where a first-mover advantage first emerges as in preemption games but a second-mover advantage later prevails as in wars of attrition. Our model identifies under what conditions a firm becomes a pioneer, early follower or late entrant and provides efficiency implications by highlighting an elusive link between static market competition and dynamic entry competition.
