Both Cournot and
Bertrand duopoly models start from the hypothesis of duopoly being "energized" through existence of active competition relationships between respective (two) firms, which manifest in an active and visible manner between following limits: (A) in Cournot model, firms compete each other on basis of variation of quantity of sold products (either good or services), resulting in (Lipsey and Chrystal, 2004): a) stable profits--for both firms--, which, while smaller than monopoly profits, are larger than profits earned in perfect competition environment; b) a long-term equilibrium of resulted duopoly--since neither firm can, or will, gain the upper hand in competition "war" by means of altering (i.e.
[5] analyzed the dynamics of a
Bertrand duopoly with products which become divided.
Bertrand duopoly model is frequently used when the competitive behaviors are discussed in proper research.
It is well known that
Bertrand duopoly competition game is one of the basic oligopoly games with two players.
Keser (1993) experimentally studies a repeated
Bertrand duopoly game with asymmetric costs and "demand inertia." She reports a tendency toward more cooperative behavior when participants are experienced with the game.
11:30 A NEW
BERTRAND DUOPOLY GAME AND ITS DYNAMICAL BEHAVIORS
Due to the effectiveness of the e-learning techniques used in teaching of
Bertrand duopoly, this section briefly introduces the methods used in the classroom.
To derive optimum subsidy in the
Bertrand duopoly fashion, the same types of functions introduced in the Cournot case are used here.
exceed those under free competition) rather than
Bertrand duopoly (under
The
Bertrand duopoly price competition model is effective at determining customer's willingness-to-pay and level of internet usage patterns in relation to price paid for service.
In "Complex Dynamics and Chaos Control on a kind of
Bertrand Duopoly Game Model Considering R&D Activities," H.
One can see that the form of this dynamical system is so different from the previous classical Cournot and
Bertrand duopoly game with bounded rationality.
