What is it about?

We assume firms that compete under Cournot assumption and face two possible scenarios and do not have any kind of information about the probability of occurrence of each one. Moreover. firms show different attitudes towards uncertainty: neutral, conservative and optimistic attitudes. We obtain the set of equilibria when firms show the same attitude and also when the attitudes are different
