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.
