We show, using a direct variational approach, that the second boundary value problem for the Monge-Ampère equation in ${ℝ}^n$ with exponential non-linearity and target a convex body $P$ is solvable iff $0$ is the barycenter of $P.$ Combined with some toric geometry this confirms, in particular, the (generalized) Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for toric log Fano varieties $(X,\Delta )$ saying that $(X,\Delta )$ admits a (singular) Kähler-Einstein metric iff it is K-stable in the algebro-geometric sense. We thus obtain a new proof and...
