Abstract

Abstract On the basis of the 19th century mathematical economics literature initiated by Cournot, the paper shows the coexistence of two contrasting views of competition, which may be associated, as already suggested by Edgeworth, with the two themes of peace and war. According to the first view (Jevons, Walras, Marshall), competition is characterised, independently of market structure, by the peaceful price taking conduct of consumers and producers. Rivalry is not completely absent, but it concerns the interaction of mediating professional dealers. According to the second view (Bertrand, Launhardt), competition appears as an aggressive strategic interaction between producers.

对竞争的两种看法:“是和平还是战争?”

本文以古诺(Cournot)开创的19世纪数学经济学文献为基础，揭示了两种截然不同的竞争观并存，正如埃奇沃斯(Edgeworth)已经提出的那样，这可能与和平与战争这两个主题有关。根据第一种观点(杰文斯，瓦尔拉斯，马歇尔)，竞争的特点是，独立于市场结构，由消费者和生产者的和平定价行为。竞争并非完全没有，但它涉及调解专业经销商之间的互动。根据第二种观点(Bertrand, Launhardt)，竞争表现为生产者之间积极的战略互动。
