de Meza, David (1982) Generalised oligopoly derived demand with an application to tax induced entry. Bulletin of economic research, 34 (1). pp. 1-16. ISSN 0307-3378
Abstract
Equations are derived for the factor demand of an N firm oligopoly for fairly general market demand curves and production functions. Free-entry is then introduced and it is shown that this may either raise or lower derived demand elasticity. This result is then applied to show that a unit production tax may encourage entry and so cause larger changes in price and quantity in the short run than the long run.
