The first part of the paper reviews an analytical method for inverting demand in price competition to find the corresponding inverse demand under quantity competition. The method yields a simple function relating demand elasticities with inverse demand elasticities. The second part of the paper...

Current neoclassical microeconomic theory of rational consumer behavior affirms a unique consumer price-quantity relationship under conditions associated with monopolistic competition. Inverse demand will be just as own-price elastic as demand in the neighborhood of the limit state, while demand...
