 Bertrand competition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bertrand competition is a model of competition used in economics, named after Joseph Louis François Bertrand (1822-1900).
Specifically, it is a model of price competition between duopoly firms which results in each charging the price that would be charged under perfect competition, known as marginal cost pricing.
Bertrand predicts a duopoly is enough to push prices down to marginal cost level, that duopoly will result in perfect competition.

 Francois Quesnay
The humbly-born Francois Quesnay trained himself in medicine, rising to become a physician in Louis XV's court and the leader of a sect of Enlightenment thinkers known as the Physiocrats or the economistes.
Francois Quesnay's interest in economics arose in 1756, where, hoping to draw on his country background, he was asked to contribute several articles on farming to the Encylopèdie of Diderot and d'Alembert.
Francois Quesnay went on to write numerous articles on economics in 1766-1768 in the Journal de l'agriculture, du commerce et de finances and in the Ephémérides du Citoyen under pseudonyms like M.N., M.H., M.A., M. de Isles, etc. (sometimes having his alter-egos enjoin in journal debates with each other).

 "Revived" Orders: the Order of Saint Lazarus
Louis XVIII kept wearing the star of the Order (and was buried with it) but otherwise showed no interest whatsoever in the order.
Bertrand thinks he found an exception: in the 1829 edition, two names appear in that list without a date of nomination, and Bertrand sees those again as post-1788 nominations.
Bertrand remained active in the Order: at some point between 1945 and 1951, he took to calling himself Bertrand de la Grassière, under which name he published various works of genealogy and history, as well as technical articles on maritime law.
