Abstract

This paper presents a study of relations between industrial structures and market equilibrium where demand is uncertain. In the model used, the number of firms and their respective sizes and production structures are endogenous to the model. The approach used is to determine first of all the sector's natural configuration and supply function. This means identifying the number and respective sizes of production units that together give the best price conditions for adjusting industry supply to one demand characterized by a distribution of probabilities. The analysis is then broadened, taking coalitions, product choice and the spatial factor into account so as to analyse the impact of these parameters on market structures.
