xj Solving for pj (xj ) from equation (2) we get the inverse demand function pj (xj ) = L1 Y xj 1 max L1 Y rxj , and the problem can be rewritten as xj xj and the …rst order condition is [xj ] : 2 L1 Y xj 1 r = 0. It follows that xj = r 2 1 1 LY and it is clear that xj = x for all j since the right hand side does not depend on j. Plugging this on the inverse demand function we obtain r (3) pj = , and again it is clear that pj =…
