[2] Within the macroeconomic mainstream in the United States, distinctions can be made between saltwater economists [a] and the more laissez-faire ideas of freshwater economists.
Likewise, firm 2's reaction function q2=R2(q1). The Cournot-Nash equilibrium occurs where the two reaction functions intersect and both firms are choosing the optimal output given the output of the other firm. The Nash equilibrium is widely used in economics as the main alternative to competitive equilibrium.
For example, if the price elasticity of the demand of a good is −2, then a 10% increase in price will cause the quantity demanded to fall by 20%. Elasticity in economics provides an understanding of changes in the behavior of the buyers and sellers with price changes.
