Why did Finland experience in 1991-93 the deepest recession observed in an industrialized country since the 1930s? Using a dynamic general equilibrium model with labor frictions, we argue the reason was the costly restructuring of the manufacturing sector and sharp increase in energy costs caused...

For a class of nonatomic games, we prove, by optimal transport techniques, various existence, uniqueness and variational characterization results for Nash-Cournot equilibria. For a wide class of payoffs, minimizers of some cost (related to optimal transport) are Nash-Cournot equilibria. This cost...
