Many Firms in Cournot Equilibrium Assume : there are n Firms
Exercise (a) Suppose that inverse demand is given by P = a – bQ, and that firms have identical marginal cost given by C. Assume that a > C so that part of the demand curve lies above the marginal cost curve ( otherwise the industry would not produce any input ). What is the monopoly equilibrium in this market? (b) What is the perfect competitive market outcome? (c) What is the Cournot equilibrium in market with two firms? (d) Suppose the market consists of N identical firms. What is the Cournot equilibrium quantity per firm, market quantity, and price?
