Description

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.
