Abstract

Assuming identical firms, a linear market demand function and a single factor of production, labour, we analyse the existence and stability of a homogeneous Cournot duopoly facing imperfect competition in both product and factor markets. Under the assumption of a fairly general wage function we are able to demonstrate local stability of the unique equilibrium, and global stability under the assumption of a convex reaction function.
