Can you explain what the Pure Coordination Game is and provide an example of one?
Starbucks and Krispy Kreme are trying to decide whether or not to open a shop in the new Mall of Africa. They both prefer if the other firm opens a shop because they can draw bigger crowds but neither wants to be the only American-branded coffee shop in the Mall.

QUESTION 13 Consider a market where two firms (1 and 2) produce differentiated goods and compete in prices. The demand for firm 1 is given by D₁(P₁, P2) = 140 - 2p1 + P2 and demand for firm 2's product is D2 (P1, P2) 140 - 2p2 + P1 Both firms have a constant marginal cost of 20. What is the Nash equilibrium price of firm 1? (Only give a full number; if necessary, round to the lower integer; no dollar sign.)

One game-theoretic explanation for why the United States never saw a widespread, coordinated lockdown to stop the spread of COVID-19 is that each state benefited from remaining open when its neighbors closed. Thus, the Nash equilibrium was for some states to remain open while others closed down. What kind of game best describes this situation? Anti-coordination game All of these categories could describe the situation. Repeated game Prisoners' Dilemma Coordination game

1. What do we mean by market power in economics? What are some ways firms can attain market power? How can we, as economists, know when a firm has "too much" market power? Give an example of a firm you think has a lot of market power.2. Chapter 3 is all about game theory. Imagine you are in charge of pricing at a firm that has 20% market share in an industry where the leading firm has 50% market share. Imagine that the leader increases prices on their products. How do you think you would react? Why?
Macmillan Leaming Monopolistic Competition, Oligopoly and Game Theory End of Chapter Problems Low-fare carriers such as Spirit, Allegiant, and Frontier have been successful at gaining market share by offering low base fares but then charging for everything from seat assignments to snacks to carry-on bags. What action would you recommend to the major airlines (Delta, United, and American) to avoid a prisoners' dilemma outcome? The major airlines should: Merge together to form a single competing airline, which would create cost savings and economies of scale. Decrease the prices of all their tickets so as to compete with the low-fare carriers. Break up their companies into more numerous firms, which would provide greater competition to the low-fare carriers. Create a new class of tickets that will be priced lower and offer fewer amenities, which would compete directly with the low-fare carriers.
