Arguments

object: an instance of class Bertrand, Auction2ndCap, Cournot, or Auction2ndLogit
revenue: When TRUE, returns revenues, when FALSE returns quantitities. Default is TRUE.
shares: When TRUE, returns shares, when FALSE returns quantities (when possible). Default is TRUE.
levels: When TRUE, returns changes in levels rather than percents and quantities rather than shares, when FALSE, returns changes as a percent and shares rather than quantities. Default is FALSE.
parameters: When TRUE, displays all demand parameters. Default is FALSE.
market: When TRUE, displays aggregate information about the effect of a tariff. When FALSE displays product-specific (or in the case of Cournot, plant-specific) effects. Default is FALSE.
insideOnly: When TRUE, rescales shares on inside goods to sum to 1. Default is FALSE.
digits: Number of significant digits to report. Default is 2.
...: Allows other objects to be passed to a CV method.
