Description
English: A diagram illustrating kinked demand , one formulation for explaining price stability in oligopolies . The demand curve the oligopolist faces is that of two separate curves spliced together, creating a discontinuity in the MR curve. This means that a profit maximising firm will still produce at quantity Q and price P if marginal costs are equal to MC1, MC2 or MC3, thus explaining price stability. (Here, both curves are illustrated as linear, though the concept would work exactly the same if they were not.)
