An oligopoly can be characterized by production of either identical goods or differentiate goods. True or false
A gas station at a rest stop along the highway can pay the owner of the rest stop $40,000 to prevent a second station from opening. Without entry, the incumbent gas station's profit is $100,000. With entry, its duopoly profit would be $45,000, and the entrant would earn a profit of $30,000. Will the incumbent pay from exclusivity? Will entry occur? Use a game-tree diagram to answer these questions.
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
Consider a Cournot duopoly. The inverse demand function of the market is given by p = 10-Q, where p is the market price, and Q = 91 +92 is the aggregate output. The marginal costs of the two firms are C₁ 1 and C₂ = 4. = (a) Solve for the Nash equilibrium of the game including firm out- puts, market price, aggregate output, and firm profits. (b) Now suppose these two firms play a 2-stage game. In stage 1, they produce capacities 9₁ and 92, which are equal to the Nash equilibrium quantities of the Cournot game characterised by part (a). In stage 2, they simultaneously decide on their prices p₁ and P2. The marginal cost for each firm to sell up to capacity is 0. It is impossible to sell more than capacity. The residual demand for 10 Piāj if Pi > Pj firm ij, is Di (Pi, Pj) = 10-Pi 2 = if pipi. (Note, if Pi < Pj 10 - Pi here we assume that the efficient/parallel rationing applies). Prove that it is a Nash equilibrium of the second stage subgame that each firm charges the market clearing…

Please help with these two: 1. Consider a Duopoly model, in which two firms decide a quantity simultaneously. If they collude (setting the total quantity together), then each firm can earn (higher, or lower) profit than in the Cournot equilibrium. 2. Consider a collusion with two firms. The joint profit is maximized by setting quantity and price together. Each firm sells the agreed amount. However, believing that the other firm sells the agreed amount, there is always a temptation for the firm sell (more, or less) than the agreed amount.
The interdependence observed among oligopolistic firms is often studied using the tools of game theory.
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
The concept of a Nash equilibrium, when applied to an oligopoly, relies on the notion that Firm A in an oligopoly chooses its own best strategy based on which consideration? based on the strategies that other firms have chosen based on the knowledge that other firms are likely to choose their strategies in response to Firm A's choice of a strategy based on the objective of maximizing the collective profits of all firms in the industry based on the internal financial information of Firm A
The Bertrand model of oligopoly reveals that: capacity constraints are not important in determining market performance. perfectly competitive prices can arise in markets with only a few firms. changes in marginal cost do not affect prices. All of the statements associated with this question are true. QUESTION 2 If firms are in Cournot equilibrium: each firm could increase profits by unilaterally increasing output. each firm could increase profits by unilaterally decreasing output. firms could increase profits by jointly increasing output. firms could increase profits by jointly reducing output.

What assumption does the Cournot model of duopoly make about the firms? A) They compete on price B) They compete on quantity C) They do not compete D) They collude
Suppose two firms compete in quantities (Cournot) in a market in which demand is described by: P=260-2Q. each firm incurs no fixed cost but has a marginal cost of 20. Now imagine they collude to produce the monopoly output. Suppose that after the cartel is established, firm 1 decides to cheat on the collusion, assuming the other firm will continue to produce its half of the monopoly output. What will be firm 1's profit if firm 2 continues producing the monopoly outcome? a. 4500 b. 5200 c.4200 d. 4050 Should firm 2 respond and increas their quantity? Yes or No
