Abstract

It is a widely known result that in terms of evolutionary stability the long-run outcome of a Cournot oligopoly market with finite number of firms approaches the perfectly competitive Walrasian market outcome (Vega-Redondo, 1997). In this paper, we provide an alternative analysis of an asymmetric oligopoly market, which does not lead to marginal cost pricing and the competitive outcome in the long-run.
