Cournot’s duopoly model
Duopoly meaning
Duopoly is a special case of the theory in
which there are only two sellers.
The sellers are completely independent and no
agreement exists between them.
A change in price and output of one will effect
the other and may set a chain of reaction.
Each seller takes into account the effect of his
policy on that of his rival.
