Partially Mixed Duopoly and Oligopoly: Consistent Conjectural Variations Equilibrium (CCVE). Part 1
In this paper, we consider a model of partially mixed duopoly with conjectured variations equilibrium (CVE). The agents’ conjectures concern the price variations depending upon their production output’s increase or decrease. We establish existence and uniqueness results for the conjectured variations equilibrium (called an exterior equilibrium) for any set of feasible conjectures. To introduce ...
متن کاملPartially Mixed Duopoly and Oligopoly: Consistent Conjectural Variations Equilibrium (CCVE). Part 2
In this paper, a model of partially mixed oligopoly with conjectured variations equilibrium (CVE) is studied. The agents make conjectures concerning the price variations depending upon their production output’s fluctuations. Existence and uniqueness results for the conjectured variations equilibrium (called an exterior equilibrium) is established for any collection of feasible conjectures. To d...
متن کاملThe escape from conjectural variations: the consistency condition in duopoly theory from Bowley to Fellner
The paper covers the 1924–1949 debate on the conjectural variations approach to duopoly theory and focuses on the evolution of economists’ views about the imposition of a consistency condition on the firms’ conjectures. The main point is that, although the consistency condition entailed a notion of interactive equilibrium that resembled the modern correct conjectures equilibrium, most neoclassi...
متن کاملOligopoly and consistent conjectural variations
This article examines "consistent" conjectural variations in an oligopoly model with a homogeneous product. A conjectural variation is consistent if it is equivalent to the optimal response of the otherfirms at the equilibrium defined by that conjecture. When the number of firms is fixed, we find that competitive behavior is consistent when marginal costs are constant, but that when marginal co...
متن کاملConjectural variations, symmetric equilibria and economic policy
a r t i c l e i n f o In this paper, we consider conjectural variations in a simple static general equilibrium model under oli-gopolistic competition. The modeling of conjectures captures the role played by beliefs in a micro-founded model. So, the economy may have three kinds of symmetric general equilibria. Furthermore, these equilibria can be Pareto-ranked by the conjectural variation parame...
