         evaluating derivatives of functions represented by computer programs. We then considered a Cournot
         oligopoly modeled by a system of stochastic differential equations. The setting is that of a set of
         self-interested firms striving to adjust their productions in the direction of higher profits
         subject to mistakes or random shocks. The stochastic differential equations are solved by a
         numerical method and the profits are calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Then, Automatic
         Differentiation is used to propagate sensitivities along each path in an automated fashion.
         Numerical results have confirmed the intuition one may have that noisy environments can lead to
         important profit differences between firms as well as higher sensitivities as opposed to less noisy
         ones.",
