Cournot--Nash Equilibrium and Optimal Transport in a Dynamic Setting

نویسندگان

چکیده

We consider a large population dynamic game in discrete time. The peculiarity of the is that players are characterized by time-evolving types, and so reasonably their actions should not anticipate future values types. When interactions between mean field kind, we relate Nash equilibria for such games to an asymptotic notion Cournot--Nash equilibria. Inspired works Blanchet Carlier static situation, interpret light causal optimal transport theory. Further specializing potential type, establish existence, uniqueness, characterization Moreover develop, first time, numerical scheme transport, which then leveraged order compute This illustrated detailed case study congestion game.

Optimal Transport and Cournot-Nash Equilibria

Abstract We study a class of games with a continuum of players for which Cournot-Nash equilibria can be obtained by the minimisation of some cost, related to optimal transport. This cost is not convex in the usual sense in general but it turns out to have hidden strict convexity properties in many relevant cases. This enables us to obtain new uniqueness results and a characterisation of equilib...

Imitation Dynamic and Nash Equilibrium in Cournot Oligopoly with Capacities

The paper considers an imitation dynamic in the context of Cournot oligopoly. The pure ”imitate-the-best” behavior can lead to an outcome inconsistent with Cournot-Nash equilibrium. The paper extends purely imitative behavior to imperfect imitation in the two-stage model with capacities and prices. This variation in the imitative behavior improves efficiency and makes the Cournot-Nash equilibri...

Rational Inefficiency: A Nash-Cournot Oligopolistic Market Equilibrium

The standard assumption in the efficiency literature that firms desire to produce on the production frontier may not hold in an oligopolistic market where the production decisions of all firms will determine the market price, i.e. an increase in a firm’s output level leads to a lower market clearing price and potentially-lower profits. This paper models both the production possibility set and t...

A Unifying Pair of Cournot-Nash Equilibrium Existence Results

For games with a measure space of players a tandem pair, consisting of a mixed and a pure Cournot–Nash equilibrium existence result, is presented. Their generality causes them to be completely mutually equivalent. This provides a unifying pair of Cournot–Nash existence results that goes considerably beyond the central result of E. J. Balder (1995, Int. J. Game Theory 24, 79–94, Theorem 2.1). Th...

Optimal Stopping Games and Nash Equilibrium

We show that the value function of the optimal stopping game for a rightcontinuous strong Markov process can be identified via equality between the smallest superharmonic and the largest subharmonic function lying between the gain and the loss function (semiharmonic characterisation) if and only if the Nash equilibrium holds (i.e. there exists a saddle point of optimal stopping times). When spe...
