Ever when you consider that A.C.Cournot(1838), economists were more and more drawn to oligopoly, a kingdom of the place organizations generating homogeneous items or shut substitutes are constrained in quantity. The fewness of agencies in oligopoly supplies upward thrust to interdependence which they need to take note of in opting for their optimum output or pricing rules in every one creation interval. for the reason that every one firm's revenue is a functionality of all enterprises' outputs in an oligopoly with no product range­ entiation, each one company in deciding upon its optimum output in any interval has to grasp previously all different rival organizations' outputs within the comparable interval. As this is often commonly very unlikely, it has to shape a few form of expecta­ tion on different corporations' probably outputs. Cournot suggestion that during each one interval every one company assumed that every one its opponents' outputs may stay on the related point as within the previous interval. remember that, the Cournot assumption is just too naive to be realistically supported. despite the fact that, the Cournot revenue maximizing oligopoly version characterised by means of this assumption has many vital and engaging homes from the view­ aspect of financial conception and offers a body of reference for extra real looking theories of oligopoly. In Chapters 1-3, we will be engaged in examining the Cournot oligopoly version in better aspect from the viewpoints of lifestyles, balance, area of expertise and quasi-competitive­ ness of the equilibrium.

50 better, and the dirriculty or indeterminacy or Stackelberg disequilibrium will be removed. Nagatani(1967) equilibrium will be reached where both rirms' expectations are justiried by what actually happens. The trouble, however, is that everything will depend on coerricients of subjective conjectural variations. Heertje;) these coerricients should have objective bases, which we hope to give in terms or parameters or cost and market demand runctions. In this section we depart from Stackelberg's overly mechanical duopoly model and analyze the (existence and) stability of equilibrium in a modiried leader-leader model where information is not perrect and each firm estimates successively the other's cost function rrom the past knowledge or the two rirms' outputs.
