This paper determines the stationary level of advertising in which firms in an oligopoly invest. These levels are outcomes of an industry equilibrium which corresponds to a Nash solution to the set of maximizing problems that firms face. The existence of an equilibrium is established for two alternative specifications of the dynamics of advertising. Stability, and therefore observability, of stationary states is examined.
