متن کاملUniqueness , and Symmetry of Free - Entry Cournot Equilibrium :
This article adds technology choice to a free-entry Cournot model with linear demand and constant marginal costs. Firms can choose from a discrete set of technologies. This simple framework yields non-existence of equilibrium, existence of multiple equilibria and equilibria in which ex-ante identical ̄rms choose di®erent technologies as possible outcomes. I provide a full characterization of th...
متن کاملA Unifying Pair of Cournot-Nash Equilibrium Existence Results
For games with a measure space of players a tandem pair, consisting of a mixed and a pure Cournot–Nash equilibrium existence result, is presented. Their generality causes them to be completely mutually equivalent. This provides a unifying pair of Cournot–Nash existence results that goes considerably beyond the central result of E. J. Balder (1995, Int. J. Game Theory 24, 79–94, Theorem 2.1). Th...
متن کاملOn the Existence of Cournot Equilibrium without Concave Profit Functions*
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, e.g., [l-3]). To our knowledge, however, all previous treatments of the problem have assumed (either directly or indirectly) that the reaction curves of the firms are single-valued continuous functions or convex-valued, upper h...
متن کاملEquilibrium in a Reinsurance Syndicate; Existence, Uniqueness and Characterization
This paper attempts to give an overview of the pricing of risks in a pure exchange economy, where trade takes place at time zero and where uncertainty is revealed at time one. An economic equilibrium model under uncertainty is formulated, where conditions characterizing a Pareto optimal exchange equilibrium are derived. We present two sets of sufficient conditions for the existence of an equili...
