Monopolistic competition without apology

Jacques Thisse and Philip Ushchev

Chapter 5 in Handbook of Game Theory and Industrial Organization, Volume I, 2018, pp 93-136 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: We provide a selective survey of what has been accomplished under the heading of monopolistic competition in industrial organization and other economic fields. Among other things, we argue that monopolistic competition is a market structure in its own right, which encompasses a much broader set-up than the celebrated constant elasticity of substitution (CES) model. Although oligopolistic and monopolistic competition compete for adherents within the economics profession, we show that this dichotomy is, to a large extend, unwarranted.
