The interesting aspect here is that we model here a market with different combinations of players: some are price takers (perfect competition) and some follow a Nash-Cournot oligopolistic behavior. Actually in some energy market models (not discussed in the book) we have coefficient (parameter) δ indicating “Market Power” where δ=0 means perfect competitive behavior and δ=1 means Cournot behavior. The values 0<δ<1 indicate some behavior in between.
