Mukherjee, Arijit - 2013

This paper shows the possibility of higher welfare under Cournot competition in an asymmetric cost duopoly when the … higher under Cournot competition compared to Bertrand competition when the initial cost difference of these firms is moderate …; but, for very small or very large cost initial cost differences, welfare is higher under Bertrand competition. If …
