提出一个综合的寡头均衡概念,允许竞争强度参数化连续变化,每个企业同时设定价格和数量并受市场份额与市场规模约束,证明均衡结果属于寡头均衡集,且对称均衡序列收敛于垄断竞争结果。

Abstract

For an industry producing a composite commodity, we propose a comprehensive concept of oligopolistic equilibrium, allowing for a parameterized continuum of regimes varying in competitive toughness. Each firm sets simultaneously its price and its quantity under two constraints, relative to its market share and to market size. The price and the quantity equilibrium outcomes always belong to the set of oligopolistic equilibria. When firms are identical and we let their number increase, any sequence of symmetric oligopolistic equilibria converges to the monopolistic competition outcome. Further results are derived in the symmetric CES case, concerning in particular the collusive solution enforceability.
