Quantum-Inspired Cournot Model
This paper introduces economists to quantum-inspired approaches for modeling firm behavior in a Cournot Duopoly, designed for accessibility and pedagogical use. We present key quantum concepts -- superposition, entanglement, and quantum search algorithms (Grover's and D\"{u}rr-H\o{}yer's) -- in an intuitive manner, tailored for those without a quantum physics background. These concepts are applied to represent uncertainty, interdependence, and optimization in novel ways, offering fresh perspectives on firm decision-making. By incorporating numerical examples, we illustrate how quantum-inspired models differ from classical Cournot outcomes, highlighting potential advantages in capturing complex strategic interactions. The paper aims to bridge quantum computing and economic theory, providing a foundation for teaching and exploring advanced modeling techniques.

Potential Energy Advantage of Quantum Economy
Energy cost is increasingly crucial in the modern computing industry with the wide deployment of large-scale machine learning models and language models. For the firms that provide computing services, low energy consumpt…
Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning in Cournot Games
In this work, we study the interaction of strategic agents in continuous action Cournot games with limited information feedback. Cournot game is the essential market model for many socio-economic systems where agents lea…

We reconsider the Cournot duopoly problem in light of the theory for long memory. We introduce the Caputo fractional-order difference calculus to classical duopoly theory to propose a fractional-order discrete Cournot du…
Empirical Framework for Cournot Oligopoly with Private Information
We propose an empirical framework for asymmetric Cournot oligopoly with private information about variable costs. First, considering a linear demand for a homogenous product with a random intercept, we characterize the B…
On the Oscillations in Cournot Games with Best Response Strategies
In this paper, we consider the dynamic oscillation in the Cournot oligopoly model, which involves multiple firms producing homogeneous products. To explore the oscillation under the updates of best response strategies, w…
