$title SPE model from Harker - oligopoly version (HARK-OLIGOP-IND,SEQ=66) $onText A spatial price equilibrium model is used to demonstrate different ways of modeling market behavior. In this variant, we look at the Cournot-Nash model that arises when we assume an oligopoly, i.e. the production in each region is controlled by a single firm, where the regional firms are independent. This model starts from the Cournot-Nash solution and verifies that this is a solution to each of the agent optimization problems considered in turn.
