A three-delay duopoly is considered where the firms have identical implementation delays with different information delays. The equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable without delays however this stability is lost with increasing values of the delays. The stability properties of the equilibrium depend on the common implementation delay of the firms and on the sum of the two information delays. The stability switching curves are first analytically characterized and illustrated, and then the direction of the stability switching is determined at each point of the curves. The possibility of multiple pure imaginary eigenvalues is also discussed when the directions of the stability switches cannot be determined. Simulation examples illustrate the theoretical results.

Keywords: Three delays, stability switching curve, Cournot duopoly, stability index.
