In a general equilibrium context, a good is a specific concept including geographical and time-related characteristics. Most studies of market structure relax a little their definition of a good, allowing for more flexibility in ...
Cournot's model of competition is typically presented for the case of a duopoly market structure; the following example provides a straightforward analysis of the Cournot model for the case of Duopoly.

The oldest model was the spring water duopoly of Cournot (1838) [20] in which equilibrium is determined by the duopolists reactions functions. It was criticized by Harold Hotelling for its instability, by Joseph Bertrand for lacking equilibrium for prices as independent variables.
In some countries, this has led to allegations of abuse, unethical and illegal conduct. [ 3 ] The situation in Australia is a good example since two retailers, Coles and Woolworths control 70% of the national food market.
