  • 摘要:

    We study the equilibrium with the quantity setting behavior and price setting behavior of firms in a duopoly under relative profit maximization with constant conjectural variations, and arrive at the following results. 1) Conjectural variations of firms are irrelevant to the equilibrium of a duopoly. 2) Quantity setting behavior and price setting behavior are equivalent to any conjectural variation for each firm. 3) Any pair of conjectural variations of firms which satisfies some relation is consistent. In particular, if firms have the same cost functions or the cost functions are linear, and both firms determine the outputs or both firms determine the prices, any conjectural variations which are common to both firms are consistent. Therefore, there are multiple consistent conjectures.
