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?

(The Beckhams' dilemma) Victoria and David are husband and wife. They both prefer ciean to dirty house but neither likes to clean the house. Their payoffs are given in the table below. Victoria Clean Don't clean 0,8 Clean 5,5 David Don't clean 8,0 1,1 a) Let say they play the clean house game only once, what is the Nash equilibrium? b) Let say Victoria and David has to decide whether to clean or not every day for indefinite number of days. How grim-trigger strategy will be our subgame perfect Nash equilibrium? In other words, what is the patience rate that ensure Victoria and David maintain the cleanliness of the house?

5. The following problem was first considered by John von Neumann and is a fundamentalresult game theory.A and B play the following game:A writes down either number 1 or number 2, and B must guess which one.If the number that A has written down is i and B has guessed correctly, B receives i units from A.If B makes a wrong guess, B pays 4/5 of a unit to A.First we consider the expected gain of player B.Suppose B guesses 1 with probability p and 2 with probability 1 −p.Let X1 denote B’s gain (or loss) in a game where A has written down 1.Let X2 denote B’s gain (or loss) in a game where A has written down 2.(a) Find the pmf of X1 and X2(b) Find B’s expected gain for these two cases, E[X1] and E[X2].(c) What value of p maximizes the minimum possible value of B’s expected gain?Now consider the expected loss of player ASuppose that A writes down 1 with probability q and 2 with probability 1 −q.Let Y1 be A’s loss (or gain) if B chooses number 1.Let Y2 be A’s loss (or gain) if B…

7. Solving for dominant strategies and the Nash equilibrium Suppose Gabriel and Nia are playing a game that requires both to simultaneously choose an action: Up or Down. The payoff matrix that follows shows the earnings of each person as a function of both of their choices. For example, the upper-right cell shows that if Gabriel chooses Up and Nia chooses Down, Gabriel will receive a payoff of 6 and Nia will receive a payoff of 4. Gabriel Up Down Up 6,3 3,3 Nia Down 6, 4 7,4 In this game, the only dominant strategy is for to choose The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Gabriel chooses and Nia chooses
