Some forgotten equilibria of the Bertrand duopoly!?
No full textThis note analyzes the Bertrand duopoly with constant but asymmetric marginal costs on a market with homogenous products. It is shown that there exist some equilibria that are ignored in the literature on IO. In addition, in this setting (perfectly or nearly perfectly) competitive equilibria exist.

Heterogeneous Behavioral Rules in the Oligopolistic Case
No full textIn a static symmetric duopoly the set of behavioral rules is extended to different types of markup pricing. Using an equilibrium concept suggested in Pasche (2001), it is shown that dependend on the markup neither pure Cournot nor pure Bertrand behavior is a behavioral equilibrium profile. Instead, there is a rationale for the usage of simple heuristics. The presence of markup rules leads to Stackelberg outcomes. Furthermore, pure markup behavior is more competitive than in Cournot case but less competitive than in Bertrand case. It is shown, that multiple behavioral equilibria and heterogeneous behavior may arise, where at least one player uses price setting strategies.oligopoly, markup rules, heterogeneity, behavioral equilibrium.
A Bertrand-Edgeworth-oligopóliumok (Bertrand-Edgeworth oligopolies – a survey of the literature)
No full textAz irodalomban az olyan oligopolmodellek, amelyekben mind az ár, mind a mennyiség döntési változó, Bertrand-Edgeworth-oligopóliumok néven ismertek. E tanulmányban a Bertrand-Edgeworth-oligopóliumokkal kapcsolatos érdekesebb eredményeket tekintjük át. Tárgyaljuk a Bertrand-Edgeworth-típusú oligopolmodellek specifikációját, a Nash-egyensúly létezését, a Nash-egyensúly meghatározását és a Bertrand-Edgeworth-oligopóliumok alkalmazásait. / === / Oligopoly models in which both price and quantity are decisive variables are known in the literature as Bertrand-Edgeworth oligopolies, the most interesting results with which are surveyed in this paper. The author assumes the existence of the Nash equilibrium, as the specification of Bertrand-Edgeworth-type oligopoly models, the determination of the Nash equilibrium, and the application of Bertrand-Edgeworth oligopolies

Target fragmentation of the nucleon at high energies
No full textWe calculate target fragmentation in pp --> nX and gamma p --> nX reactions in the meson cloud picture of the nucleon. The pp --> nX reaction is used to fix the pn pi(+) form factor for two different models. We take into account the possible destruction of the residual neutron by the projectile. Using the form factor from the hadronic reaction we calculate photoproduction and small x(Bj) electroproduction of forward neutrons at HERA. In photoproduction we observe about the same amount of absorption as in the hadronic reaction. For deep inelastic events screening is found to be negligible. The signature of this color transparency on the nucleon is a shift of the dN/dE(n) distribution to higher neutron energies for photofragmentation

Impairment of liver GH receptor signaling by fasting.
No full textFasting causes a state of GH resistance responsible for low circulating IGF-I levels. To investigate whether this resistance may result from alterations in the GH signaling pathway, we determined the effects of fasting on the GH transduction pathway in rat liver. Forty-eight-hour fasted or fed male rats were injected with recombinant rat GH via the portal vein. Liver was removed 0 and 15 min after injection. Although GH stimulated Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) phosphorylation in all animals, this was severely blunted in fasted animals. Similarly, the phosphorylation of the GH receptor, although observed in both fasted and fed rats after GH injection, was markedly reduced in fasted rats. A rapid signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) tyrosine phosphorylation was also induced in the liver of fed animals in response to GH. In contrast, in fasted rats only a slight phosphorylated STAT5 signal was observed. The inhibitory effect of fasting on these GH signaling molecules occurred without changes in their protein content. Furthermore, the impairment of the JAK-STAT pathway in fasted animals was associated with increased liver suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 mRNA levels. Although glucocorticoids, which are increased by fasting, may cause GH resistance, adrenalectomy failed to prevent alterations in the JAK-STAT pathway caused by fasting. In conclusion, the GH resistance induced by fasting is associated with impairment of the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. This might contribute to the decrease in liver IGF-I production observed in fasting
