Equilibrium Theory for Cournot Oligopolies and Related Games

Pierre von Mouche (1959) studied theoretical physics, mathematics and astronomy at the University of Nijmegen. He received his PhD in mathematics from the University of Utrecht under the supervision of Hans Duistermaat. Since 1989 he holds a position in economics at Wageningen University. His scientific interest include mathematical economics and in particular the equilibrium structure of games in strategic form. Federico Quartieri (1979) studied economics at the University of Florence. He received his PhD in economics from the University of Siena. Since 2014 he holds a position in mathematical economics at the University Federico II of Naples. His scientific interest include mathematical economics and game theory.
