Equilibrium Theory for Cournot Oligopolies and Related Games

This state-of-the-art
collection of papers on the theory of Cournotian competition focuses on two
main subjects: oligopolistic Cournot competition and contests. The contributors
present various applications of the Cournotian Equilibrium Theory, addressing topics
such as equilibrium existence and uniqueness, equilibrium structure, dynamic
processes, coalitional behavior and welfare. Special emphasis is placed on the
aggregative nature of the games that are relevant to such theory. This
contributed volume was written to celebrate the 80th birthday of Prof. Koji Okuguchi,
a pioneer in oligopoly theory.
