Abstract: We describe two simple results in the theory of Cournot equilibria. The first has to do with the effect of taxation in a Cournot industry and the second describes under what conditions a Cournot equilibrium will implicity maximize an objective function. These results are probably known, but are not well known, and they seem useful enough to be worth spelling out.
