The Gains from Trade in a Cournot–Nash Trading Equilibrium

Author

Listed:
  • Murray C. Kemp

Abstract

It has recently been suggested by several authors that a Cournot–Nash free‐trade equilibrium might leave each country worse off than under autarky, in apparent contradiction of earlier findings. In the present note it is shown that the suggestion is typically based on self‐contradictory assumptions and is therefore unacceptable.
