    Introduction to the Bertrand Model The Bertrand model was developed by Joseph Bertrand to challenge Cournot’s work on non-cooperative oligopolies.

    In 1893 French economist Joseph Bertrand developed his Bertrand model of competition from his review of Antoine Cournots study of a Spring Water duopoly.

In other words firm will derive its optimising strategy on the assumption of a given behaviour of the other firm. Bertrand model also assumes zero conjectural variation but it considers price competition‚ not quantity. Cournot model
