Comparative statics in Cournot free entry equilibrium
In this paper we study the effects of a change in an exogenous variable (the fixed cost or a parameter in the demand function) on the output and the number of active firms in a Symmetric Cournot Equilibrium with Free Entry (SCEFE). The results obtained here are different from those obtained in the Cournot model with a given number of firms. In particular, an increase in demand might yield a dec...
متن کاملExistence of Equilibrium and Comparative Statics in Differentiated Goods Cournot Oligopolies
We show that under horizontal differentiation pure symmetric Cournot equilibria exist if firms react to a rise in competitors’ output in such a way that their market price does not rise. This condition is related to strategic complementarity, but not to convexity or differentiability. We rule out multiple equilibria under some additional conditions and discuss stability and regularity of equili...
متن کاملComparative Statics, Stability, and Uniqueness
Consider an economic model whose equilibrium can be represented as the xed point of a system of di¤erentiable equations. Using the theory ofB matrices, I show that comparative statics are well-behaved if the interactions between the equations are not too large, and the negative interactions are not too varied. When there are only positive interactions, for example when strategic complements pr...
متن کاملComputation, Multiplicity, and Comparative Statics of Cournot Equilibria in Integers
We give an efficient algorithm for computing a Cournot equilibrium when the producers are confined to integers, the inverse demand function is linear, and costs are quadratic. The method also establishes existence constructively. We use our characterization to discuss the multiplicity of integer Cournot equilibria and their relationship to the real Cournot equilibrium.
