Abstract
We consider the equilibrium uniqueness problem for a large class of Cournot oligopolies with convex cost functions and a proper price function [Formula: see text] with decreasing price flexibility. This class allows for (at [Formula: see text]) discontinuous industry revenue and in particular for [Formula: see text]. The paper illustrates in an exemplary way the Selten–Szidarovszky technique based on virtual backward reply functions. An algorithm for the calculation of the unique equilibrium is provided.
