This paper examines the existence of n-firm Cournot equilibrium in a market for a single
homogeneous commodity. It proves that if each firm's marginal revenue declines as the …

This study is concerned with the following economic problem: A single type of item is
produced by several (specifically, n) manufacturers who compete for sales in a market …

This article reconsiders whether the Cournot equilibrium really becomes a perfect
competition equilibrium when the number of competitors goes to infinity. It has been …

WITH rather weak assumptions about market demand and the strong assumption of costless
production, the author [7] 2 proves that a static Cournot oligopoly equilibrium exists for any …

This communication is concerned with the existence of equilibrium in Cournot's model of
oligopoly [2, Chap. VII]. This question, of course, has been examined often (see, eg,[l-3]). To …

Homogeneous Cournot oligopoly without product differentiation is said to be
quasicompetitive if the equilibrium industry output increases and the equilibrium market …

In this paper a theorem is developed giving necessary and sufficient conditions for the
uniqueness of homogeneous product Cournot equilibria. The result appears to be the …

This paper examines some general notions relating to the comparison of Cournot and
Bertrand equilibrium outcomes. Results obtained by Vives in this connection are …

The equilibrium prices for the Bertrand and Cournot oligopolies with product differentiation
are compared. If all firms have linear demand and cost functions, and if, in addition, the …

This paper assesses the view that Bertrand equilibrium is intrinsically more competitive than
Cournot equilibrium. We consider an oligopoly model with linear demand, and a mixture of …
