	Duopoly -- A complete definition
		A duopoly is a form of oligopoly occurring when two companies (or countries) control all or most of the market for a product or service.
		Duopolies are most effective when the demand for the duopoly's product is not greatly affected by price.
		This is also why duopolies are more effective in the short term; over the long term, prices often become more elastic as consumers find substitutes for the product.

		Duopoly can also be examined experimentally as a market, with two sellers and several buyers.
		This page describes a duopoly market that is similar to the duopoly game, except that rather than a constant marginal cost for the sellers, the duopoly market example that we develop has marginal costs that increase.
		This change is introduced so that it will be easier to compare duopoly to a standard example of a competitive market and also to a standard example of a monopoly market.

		There are, of course, other reasons why a duopoly is very unlikely to result in a price fixing scheme.

		Some duopolies are not the result of competition but of nationalization and privatization, although this is relatively rare since a nationalized monopoly won’t often result in a lasting duopoly (it will either remain a monopoly once privatized or get crushed by new, private competitors).

	Stevedoring duopoly draws more fire - Business - Business - theage.com.au
		Anglo Ports Pty Ltd said the lack of true competition in container stevedoring was creating a trade crisis in Australia as key container ports would be gridlocked within a few years.
		Anglo Ports director Captain Richard Setchell said the existing Patrick and PandO "balanced duopoly" was out of step with practices in Europe, the US and most free economies in Asia.
		Captain Setchell, who was speaking at the Ausintermodal conference in Sydney yesterday, said there was an "urgent onus" on governments and port administrators to break up the duopoly by allowing a third operator to compete at key Australian ports.

		Duopoly has enabled many radio stations to reduce costs by up to 20%, but the predicted mass consolidation of the industry has not occurred.
		The potential for cost savings seems to be limited to smaller markets, and most operators have decided to retain the separate identities of their stations to keep advertisers and listeners interested.
		One critic of duopoly says that the arrangement will only perpetuate a glut of signals and commercial inventory.

	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.

		Ed Ansin, owner of Sunbeam, said the station came up for grabs several weeks ago, and he seized the chance to own a second station in the same city, which forms what is known in the TV industry as a "duopoly."

		"We get to create a duopoly, which is very advantageous," Ansin said in a phone interview from Boston.

	Asymmetrical Duopoly under Uncertainty - The Extended Joaquin & Buttler Model (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In the symmetrical duopoly model of Huisman and Kort, firms were homogeneous, whereas in this webpage the firms are different, there is an asymmetric duopoly.
		So, the effect of the duopoly is to decrease the NPV at the optimal enter level, in relation to the monopolistic case.
		He analyzes the asymmetric duopoly case (chapter 8), but it is a little bit different from our case because the asymmetry in the book occurs with different investments, whereas here the investments are the same and the asymmetry is due to the different operational costs.

	Brisbane move on port duopoly - Business - Business - smh.com.au
		TOLL Holdings' and Dubai Ports World's newly formed duopoly over Australia's container ports faces its first challenge, with the Port of Brisbane seeking expressions of interest for a potential third stevedore to operate at the port.
		Mr Blood argued the rationalisation of the number of container stevedores in the past 15 years from five to two had actually resulted in a huge lift in productivity in the ports.
		Shipping Australia chief executive Llew Russell said it would be tough for any new entrant to have operations just in Brisbane, referring to the trend for stevedores to offer services to shipping lines across a range of ports.

	Duopoly Comments
		Their skepticism is borne out in evidence already in the record showing that increased concentration of ownership, brought about by changes in the national ownership limits in 1984 and relaxation of the duopoly rule in 1989, has reduced the quantity of, and viewpoint diversity in, local news and public affairs programming.
		Therefore, in the absence of compelling evidence that changing the parameters of the duopoly rule will not result in a significant diminution of diversity of viewpoints, the Commission should not change the current rule.
		The Commission proposes that a new station owner, in the case of a transfer, be permitted to retain an LMA entered into before the grandfather date for the duration of the term even if it would otherwise violate the local ownership rules.
