Abstract

A simple proof of an equilibrium uniqueness result by Murphy, Sherali and Soyster for homogeneous Cournot oligopolies with concave industry revenue function and convex cost functions is provided. Adapting this proof, a substantial improvement of their result is obtained; the improvement concerns capacity constraints, non-differentiable cost functions and industry revenue functions that are discontinuous at 0.
