Tax Analysis in an Oligopoly Model
Michael L. Katz,Harvey S. Rosen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the conjectural variations model of oligopoly to analyze the way in which the incidence of a tax depends upon the pattern of firm interaction and show that the errors that arise in excess burden calculations when incorrect assumptions on market structure are made.
