Carbon price and optimal extraction of a polluting fossil fuel with restricted carbon capture

Coulomb, Renaud; Henriet, Fanny - HAL - 2010

Among technological options to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, Carbon Capture and Storage technology (CCS) seems particularly promising. This technology allows to keep on extracting polluting fossil fuels without drastically increasing CO2 atmospheric concentration. We examine here a...

Optimal transport and Cournot-Nash equilibria

Blanchet, Adrien; Carlier, Guillaume - HAL - 2012

We study a class of games with a continuum of players for which Cournot-Nash equilibria can be obtained by the minimisation of some cost, related to optimal transport. This cost is not convex in the usual sense in general but it turns out to have hidden strict convexity properties in many...
