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 theCournotian Equilibrium Theory, addressing topics such as equilibrium existence and uniqueness, equilibrium structure, dynamic processes, coalitionalbehavior and welfare. Special emphasis is placed on the aggregative nature of thegames that are relevant to such theory. This contributed volume was written to celebrate the 80th birthday of Prof. KojiOkuguchi, a pioneer in oligopoly theory.
