About: Complementary monopoly

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A complementary monopoly is an economic concept. It considers a situation where consent must be obtained from more than one agent to obtain a good. In turn leading to a reduction in surplus generated relative to an outright monopoly, if the two agents do not cooperate. The theory was originally proposed in the nineteenth century by Antoine Augustin Cournot. This can be seen in private toll roads where more than one operator controls a different section of the road. The solution is for one agent to purchase all sections of the road.

dbo:abstract
  • A complementary monopoly is an economic concept. It considers a situation where consent must be obtained from more than one agent to obtain a good. In turn leading to a reduction in surplus generated relative to an outright monopoly, if the two agents do not cooperate. The theory was originally proposed in the nineteenth century by Antoine Augustin Cournot. This can be seen in private toll roads where more than one operator controls a different section of the road. The solution is for one agent to purchase all sections of the road. Complementary goods are a less extreme form of this effect. In this case, one good is still of value even if the other good is not obtained. In a 1968 paper Hugo F. Sonnenschein claim complementary monopoly is equivalent to Cournot duopoly. (en)
