Bertrand Competition
Bertrand competition is a model of competition used in economics, named after Joseph Louis François Bertrand (1822–1900). It describes interactions among firms (sellers) that set prices and their customers (buyers) that choose quantities at the prices set. The model was formulated in 1883 by Bertrand in a review of Antoine Augustin Cournot's book ''Recherches sur les Principes Mathématiques de la Théorie des Richesses'' (1838) in which Cournot had put forward the Cournot model. Cournot's model argued that each firm should maximise its profit by selecting a quantity level and then adjusting price level to sell that quantity. The outcome of the model equilibrium involved firms pricing above marginal cost; hence, the competitive price. In his review, Bertrand argued that each firm should instead maximise its profits by selecting a price level that undercuts its competitors' prices, when their prices exceed marginal cost. The model was not formalized by Bertrand; however, the ide ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bertrand (steamboat)
The ''Bertrand'' was a steamboat which sank on April 1, 1865, while carrying cargo up the Missouri River to Virginia City, Montana Territory, after hitting a snag in the river north of Omaha, Nebraska. Half of its cargo was recovered during an excavation in 1968, more than 100 years later. Today, the artifacts are displayed in a museum at the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge near Missouri Valley, Iowa. The display makes up the largest intact collection of Civil War-era artifacts in the United States, and are an invaluable time capsule of everyday life during that period. History The ''Bertrand'' was launched in Wheeling, West Virginia in 1864. It measured long, with a beam of ; its total burden was reported as 251 tons. A shallow-draft vessel, it drew only when light, and perhaps no more than twice that when loaded."River Matters", ''Wheeling Intelligencer'', 1864-11-26. Quoted a"Bertrand"Ohio County Public Library.

Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges (, literally ''Saint-Bertrand of Comminges''; Gascon: ''Sent Bertran de Comenge'') is a commune (municipality) and former episcopal see in the Haute-Garonne department in southwestern France. It is a member of the '' Les Plus Beaux Villages de France'' ("The Most Beautiful Villages of France") association. History In 406, Saint Jerome wrote that the Roman General Pompey, while on the way back to Rome after a military campaign in Spain, founded a Roman colony there, presumably to defend the passage to the Aran Valley in the Pyrenees and the Iberian peninsula. However, the lack of archaeological evidence makes this open to question. The colony, built on the valley floor below the current hilltop village, was named ''Lugdunum Convenarum''. This roman town dates from the Augustan period and had reached around 30,000 people at its highest point. It belonged to the Roman province of Novempopulana and had a growing Christian community, which by the late ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
