Abstract: We employ techniques from optimal transport in order to prove decay of transfer operators associated to iterated functions systems and expanding maps, giving rise to a new proof without requiring a Doeblin-Fortet (or Lasota-Yorke) inequality. Our main result is the following. Suppose $T$ is an expanding transformation acting on a compact metric space $M$ and $A:MomathbbR$ a given fixed H{"o}lder function, and denote by $L$ the Ruelle operator associated to $A$. We show that if $L$ is normalized (i.e. if $L(1)=1$), then the dual transfer operator $L^{\ast }$ is an exponential contraction on the set of probability measures on $M$ with the $1$-Wasserstein metric.Our approach is flexible and extends to a relatively general setting, which we name Iterated Contraction Systems. We also derive from our main result several dynamical consequences; for example we show that Gibbs measures depends in a Lipschitz-continuous way on variations of the potential.
