Multiproduct Cournot Oligopoly [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2005 We present a general Cournot model in which each flrm may sell multiple quality-difierentiated products. We use an upgrades approach, working not with the actual products, but instead with upgrades from one quality to the next. The prop- erties of single-product Cournot models carry over to the supply of upgrades, but not necessarily to the supply of ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 AbstractWe construct a Cournot model with uncertainty in the number of firms in the industry. We model such an uncertainty as a Poisson game and characterize the set of equilibria after deriving novel properties of the Poisson distribution. When marginal costs are zero, the number of equilibria increases with the expected number of firms (n) and for ...

Mathematical Social Sciences, 2020 We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Cournot equilibrium for a class of demand functions when firms are identical and produce under constant returns to scale. We focus on inelastic and convex demand yielding non-concave profit functions.

Information Advantage in Cournot Oligopoly [PDF]
Journal of Economic Theory, 2002 We model an oligopolistic industry where a number of firms that are asymmetrically informed about the environment compete via quantities, and we study how the information available to a firm affects its equilibrium profits. Indeed we find that if all firms have access to the same constant returns to scale technology, in any Bayesian equilibrium the ...

Network Cournot Competition [PDF]
, 2014 Cournot competition is a fundamental economic model that represents firms competing in a single market of a homogeneous good. Each firm tries to maximize its utility---a function of the production cost as well as market price of the product---by deciding on the amount of production.

Cournot competition in networked markets [PDF]
Proceedings of the fifteenth ACM conference on Economics and computation, 2014 The paper considers a model of competition among firms that produce a homogeneous good in a networked environment. A bipartite graph determines which subset of markets a firm can supply to. Firms compete à la Cournot and decide how to allocate their production output to the markets they are directly connected to.

On the existence of Bayesian Cournot equilibrium [PDF]
Games and Economic Behavior, 2007 We show that even in very simple oligopolies with differential information a (Bayesian) Cournot equilibrium in pure strategies may not exist, or be unique. However, we find sufficient conditions for existence, and for uniqueness, of Cournot equilibrium in a certain class of industries. More general results arise when negative prices are allowed.
