چکیده
In this paper we extend the basic model of Cournot competition to the case where both the demand function and the cost functions of each firm depend on the amounts produced by competitors. In this modified setting, proving existence of equilibria becomes harder. We develop a generalization of the theory of supermodular games in the context where individual decision variables take values in a totally ordered set to prove existence of equilibria in this generalized Cournot setting.

Oligopolistic competition as a common agency game
In applying the common agency framework to the context of an oligopolistic industry, we want to go beyond the classical dichotomy between Cournot and Bertrand competition. We deÞne two games, the oligopolistic game and the corresponding concept of oligopolistic equilibrium, and an associated auxiliary game that can be interpreted as a common agency game and that has the same set of equilibria. ...
متن کاملIntegrated Supply Chain Management for Perishable Products: Dynamics and Oligopolistic Competition Perspectives with Application to Pharmaceuticals
We propose an integrated supply chain management framework that allows us to explicitly consider the impact of product perishability on a broad scale that includes manufacturers, distribution centers, wholesalers, and demand markets. The framework proposed herein also makes it possible to consider the oligopolistic competition across wholesalers that drives price and demand fluctuations. Furthe...
متن کاملCompetition yields efficiency in load balancing games
We study a nonatomic congestion game with N parallel links, with each link under the control of a profit maximizing provider. Within this ‘load balancing game’, each provider has the freedom to set a price, or toll, for access to the link and seeks to maximize its own profit. Given prices, a Wardrop equilibrium among users is assumed, under which users all choose paths ofminimal and identical e...
متن کاملCournot−Walras equilibrium without profit feedback
In this note we consider a general equilibrium model with oligopolistic competition between firms who ignore the feedback effect of their dividend payments on demand. The outcome of this competition coincides with the perfectly competitive equilibrium solution, provided that firms have identical production technologies. I would like to thank Atsushi Kajii and two anonymous referees for helpful ...
متن کاملOligopolistic competition and concentration in the smart card industry
Based on some stylised fact, and using a proprietary database of more than 750 agreements spanning from collaborations to merger and acquisition agreements between 1997 and 2003, we try in this paper to characterise and understand the movement of industry concentration. We ask whether the smart card industry will know a monitoring oligopolistic concentration on the fundamental assets and market...
