We provide a counterexample to the conduct parameter identification result established in the foundational work of Lau (1982), which generalizes the identification theorem of Bresnahan (1982) by relaxing the linearity assumptions. We identify a separable demand function that still permits identification and validate this case both theoretically and through numerical simulations.
