Two firms are competing to establish one of two new wireless communication standards, A or B. A strategy is a choice of standard, and an outcome of this game is a choice of standard by each firm – for example, (A, B) represents the case where Firm 1 decides to develop standard A and Firm 2 develops standard B. Here, the first letter will always correspond to Firm 1’s decision, and the second letter to Firm 2’s decision. Firm 1 has the following preferences over outcomes, in order of highest to lowest preferred: it prefers (A, A) to (B, A) to (A, B) to (B, B). Firm 2 prefers (A, B) to (A, A) to (B, A) to (B, B). Suppose that firms simultaneously decide which standard to develop. What is the pure strategy Nash equilibrium?
How does backward induction affect decision-making in multi-stage games with complete information, particularly in the context of strategic interactions between firms in an oligopolistic market?

Synergy and Dynaco are the only two firms in a specific high-tech industry. They face the following payoff matrix as they decide upon the size of their research budget: Dynaco's Decision Synergy's Decision Large Budget Large Budget $30 million, $20 million Small Budget $0, $30 million If Synergy believes Dynaco will go with a large budget, it will choose a budget. If Synergy believes Dynaco will go with a small budget, it will choose a budget. Therefore, Synergy a dominant strategy. O True Small Budget $70 million, $0 $50 million, $40 million If Dynaco believes Synergy will go with a large budget, it will choose a budget. If Dynaco believes Synergy will go with a small budget, it will choose a budget. Therefore, Dynaco a dominant strategy. O False True or False: There is a Nash equilibrium for this scenario. (Hint: Look closely at the definition of Nash equilibrium.)
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.
Problem # 4 Idea Inc. is a small publishing company operating in the college and textbook market, which is one of the most profitable segments for book publishers. Idea Inc. has a cost of producing, handling, and shipping of about $30 for each additional book. The publisher’s overall marketing and promotion spending (set annually) accounts for an average cost of about $10 per book. Idea Inc.’s best-selling game theory text has a demand curve: P = 200 - Q, where Q denotes yearly sales (in thousands) of books. For this text Idea Inc. pays a $10 per book royalty to the author. a) Determine the profit-maximizing output and price for the game theory text. b) A rival publisher has raised the price of its best-selling game theory text by $20. One option is to exactly match this price hike and so exactly preserve your level of sales. Do you endorse this price increase? (Explain briefly why or why not.) c) To save significantly on fixed costs, Idea Inc. plans to contract out the actual printing…
