(a) There are two companies in the world that produce large passenger aircraft, Boeing, and Airbus. How would you characterize the market for large passenger aircraft, monopoly, perfectly competitive, monopolistically competitive or Oligopoly? Please explain. Large passenger aircraft are defined as aircraft than can carry more than 150 passengers. (b) The market for telephone services has become more competitive over time with the advancement of technology in the industry. Technology in the aircraft manufacturing industry has also advanced significantly. Why hasn’t this improvement in technology led to an increase in competition (Boeing and Airbus have been the only manufacturers in this industry for many years)? Please explain.
Explain and describe the kinked demand curve of a firm in an oligopoly.

Duopoly: 1. Consider a duopoly game with 2 firms. The market inverse demand curve is given by P(Q) = 120-Q, where Q = 9₁ +9₂ and q; is the quantity produced by firm i. The firm's long run total costs are given by C₁(9₁)=2q₁ and C₂(92)=92, respectively. a. Determine the Nash Equilibrium for Cournot competition, in which firms compete based on quantity. What is each firm's best response as a function of the other firm's output? Graph these best response functions in on the same graph. Compute the associated payoffs for each firm. b. Determine the Nash Equilibrium for Bertrand competition, in which firms compete based on price and stand ready to meet market demand at that price. What is each firm's best response as a function of the other firm's price? Graph these best response functions in on the same graph. Compute the associated payoffs for each firm. Game Th
Compare an oligopolistic industry that has a great deal of communication among its members with an oligopolistic industry that has little communication and the firms want to maximize profits for themselves.

A small town has a duopoly in its tattoo market. Two firms, "Thread the Needle" and "Ink about it" are both competitors. Daily profit is listed in the payoff matrix. The green payouts belong to "Thread the Needle" and the red, "Ink about it". Why does the outcome where they both advertise yield the same profits for both firms than if they didn't advertise? A because advertising doesn't actually work B because advertising increases the average total costs and negatively impact total profit C because one firm is larger than the other firm D because of a collusive agreement between the firms
Firm x is and oligopoly market. Market demand is inelastic, so this firm can increase profit by rasing prices. However, if it does so, it might lose sales to its competitors. How can this frim use price signaling to increase its profits?
