8. How can we integrate the models? Let us look at problem classes
NLP

Complementarity
ProblemsKKT conditions
Equilibrium programming
Non-optimization based problems,
e.g. Nash-Cournot games. LP = Linear Program
QP = Quadratic Program
NLP = Non-Linear Program

23. Conclusions
1. Linking the models produces the same Nash
equilibrium as the integrated model that combines
the KKT-conditions into one MCP.
2. Solving one integrated model may be faster than
iterating between individual models.
3. Combining the models in a leader-follower setting
may produce a Stackelberg equilibrium that differs
from the Nash equilibrium.
