Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2001 This paper reconsiders Bertrand duopoly and oligopoly in the spatial formulation due to Hotelling, 1929. The equilibrium configurations of price and location structure are considered, given elastic demand, and a full dynamics is formulated in order to ...

Stability properties of a Cournot-type oligopoly model with time delay
Annals of the West University of Timisoara: Mathematics and Computer Science, 2023 The paper studies a Cournot game involving n private firms, where the firms’ interactions are analyzed in a discrete-time setting with time delay. The past production levels of other private firms have an impact on the production levels of each private ...

Cournot Oligopoly With Uncertain Entry [PDF]
The Review of Economic Studies, 1975 The study of oligopoly has progressed along two lines. The first deals with the behaviour of a firm viewing existing rivals as responsive to its actions. The critical assumption in this analysis is the firm's conjecture about rivals' reactions to its price or quantity decisions.

Optimal Taxation with Cournot Oligopoly [PDF]
The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy, 2005 Abstract This paper studies optimal linear taxation in a general equilibrium model with Cournot oligopoly. The main result is the following. With imperfect competition the tendency toward "inverse elasticities" tax rules will be weakened and may even be reversed.

A variational principle, coupled fixed points and market equilibrium
Nonlinear Analysis, 2021 We present a possible kind of generalization of the notion of ordered pairs of cyclic maps and coupled fixed points and its application in modelling of equilibrium in oligopoly markets.

A Dynamic Model of Cournot Competition for an Oligopolistic Market
Mathematics, 2021 This paper studies firms’ dynamic interaction in a Cournot market. In each period of the game, the firm decides whether to make a stochastic positioning investment (establishing or maintaining its position in market competition).

The Chaos Dynamic of Multiproduct Cournot Duopoly Game with Managerial Delegation
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2014 Although oligopoly theory is generally concerned with the single-product firm, what is true in the real word is that most of the firms offer multiproducts rather than single products in order to obtain cost-saving advantages, cater for the diversity of ...

Rationalizability and efficiency in an asymmetric Cournot oligopoly [PDF]
International Journal of Industrial Organization, 2016 This paper studies rationalizability in a linear asymmetric Cournot oligopoly with a unique Nash equilibrium. It shows that mergers favor uniqueness of the rationalizable outcome. When one requires uniqueness of the rationalizable outcome maximization of consumers' surplus may involve a symmetric oligopoly with few firms. We interpret uniqueness of the

Differential Game-Theoretic Models of Cournot Oligopoly with Consideration of the Green Effect
Games, 2023 We built and investigated analytically and numerically a differential game model of Cournot oligopoly with consideration of pollution for the general case and the case of symmetrical agents. We conducted a comparative analysis of selfish agents’ behavior

Rational expectations and the Cournot-Theocharis problem
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2006 In dynamic models in economics, often “rational expectations” are assumed. These are meant to show that the agents can correctly foresee the result of their own and the other agents' actions. In this paper, it is shown that this cannot happen in a simple
