Abstract: In recent years a number of authors have considered a variety of expectations assumptions in analyzing the stability of oligopoly. In this paper it is assumed that an oligopolist has a probability distribution for its competitors’ outputs. This « nondogmatic conjectures » approach enables us to determine: (1) which of the stability results are not dependent on the expectation assumption made and (2) how the expectation assumptions themselves affect the stability results.
