Homogeneous Goods Market Achieves Perfect Competition with Cournot-Bertrand Firms
In a model of market competition, one company sets prices while another controls output levels. When both sell identical items, the outcome is just like a perfectly competitive market. At this equilibrium point, the price matches the production cost, the output equals the best level for competition, and the price-setting company leaves the market. Even if only one business remains, the potential for a second firm following a different strategy helps maintain a competitive environment.
