Interactive and dynamic models of Cournot and Bertrand duopolies Most simple models have been used. The following concepts have been illustrated: - reaction functions; - Nash equilibrium; - cartel agreement; - convergence in a dynamic game; - iterated elimination of dominated strategies in a static game.

Two competing firms are each one choosing one's quantities of production of the same product. They are selling with the same optimal price. A linear demand curve has been assumed. It has been also assumed that there are no fixed costs and that the model is symmetrical - both firms have the same, constant marginal cost.

Two competing firms are each one choosing the prices of one's products, which are identical. They are both choosing correspondingly optimal quantities of production. A linear demand curve has been assumed. It has been also assumed that there are no fixed costs and that the model is symmetrical - both firms have the same, constant marginal cost. The parameters have been chosen so as to make the cartel agreement theoretically possible.
