Abstract

Goes back to thinking on the price theory of oligopoly in 1960. In particular, is concerned with Stackelberg's oligopoly theory. Presents a careful description of the development of Stackelberg's analysis. Takes into account his mathematical appendix. Confronts the theory with game theory and concludes that in a dynamic game a Nash-Cournot equilibrium will emerge.
