Early Neoclassical views on Monopoly: the Cournotian heritage

In spite of Cournot’s unquestionable influence on contemporary theory, his legacy regarding economic policy and, especially, the regulation of monopolies is mostly unknown. In this paper I explore the several forms of Cournot’s analysis of monopolistic market structures, starting with his theoretica...

Este trabajo explora las formas diversas que tiene el análisis de las estructuras monopólicas de mercado propuesto por Cournot, partiendo de su modelo teórico hasta su análisis más normativo y empírico. Utilizando textos poco conocidos del autor se pone en evidencia la versatilidad de sus ideas y la riqueza de su legado analítico. A partir de estos elementos se intenta reconstruir la influencia que sus ideas tuvieron sobre tres de los principales autores de finales del siglo XIX: Walras, Edgeworth y Marshall. Se muestra que existe una representación teórica que constituye la referencia indiscutible sobre los monopolios pero que se enriquece en los análisis normativos y resulta en propuestas de regulación y de política económica diversas que cada uno de estos autores desarrolla y se apropia de manera diferente.application/pdfspaUniversidad EAFITEcos de Economía, Vol 14, No 30 (2010)http://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/ecos-economia/article/view/181/183http://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/ecos-economia/article/view/181/183Copyright (c) 2010 Andrés ÁlvarezAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2instname:Universidad EAFITreponame:Repositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITEcos de Economía, Vol 14, No 30 (2010)Early Neoclassical views on Monopoly: the Cournotian heritagearticleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlepublishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1CournotWalrasEdgeworthMarshallMonopolioOrganización Industrial.Álvarez, AndrésUniversidad Nacional de ColombiaEcos de Economia: A Latin American journal of applied economics143099120Ecos de EconomíaORIGINALdocument - 2020-03-11T111027.438.pdfdocument - 2020-03-11T111027.438.pdfTexto completo PDFapplication/pdf1777524https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/9d505fab-b72c-49ab-a185-28f596b02a67/download87400f751f313a144eabde4a186664a0MD51articulo.htmlarticulo.htmlTexto completo HTMLtext/html376https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/adb68a74-2689-47a8-9407-9f77791ba91c/downloadac97414d35d7df959a71bb00a7a6392dMD53THUMBNAILminaitura-ecos_Mesa de trabajo 1.jpgminaitura-ecos_Mesa de trabajo 1.jpgimage/jpeg251248https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/8a9632d5-a9c6-405e-803d-81a8b5808758/download9b15d674b076c1793a0bc25cebb1bcefMD5210784/15518oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/155182020-03-18 13:19:18.228open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
