Suppose that there were two competing types of high-definition DVD players, Greenbeam and Mosdef. Greenbeam enjoyed an initial advantage in the market for high-definition DVD players because there were more motion-picture production companies offering movies compatible with its system. Which of the following is an illustration of a network externality? Mosdef benefited from more consumers buying Greenbeam DVD players. O Consumers bought Mosdef players in increasing numbers, while Greenbeam lost market share and eventually went out of business. Consumers bought Greenbeam players in increasing numbers, while Mosdef lost market share and eventually went out of business. More production companies adopted the Mosdef format for their movies because the Mosdef player had the superior format, despite the fact that more consumers purchased Greenbeam players.

A case study in the chapter describes a phoneconversation between the presidents of AmericanAirlines and Braniff Airways. Let’s analyze thegame between the two companies. Suppose thateach company can charge either a high price fortickets or a low price. If one company charges $300,it earns low profit if the other company also charges$300 and high profit if the other company charges$600. On the other hand, if the company charges $600,it earns very low profit if the other company charges$300 and medium profit if the other company alsocharges $600.a. Draw the payoff matrix for this game.b. What is the Nash equilibrium in this game?Explain.c. Is there an outcome that would be better than theNash equilibrium for both airlines? How could itbe achieved? Who would lose if it were achieved?
See page 561 02 Question John and Daniel greatly enjoy each other's company but have different tastes regarding the best form of entertainment. John prefers the lowbrow entertainment of professional wrestling that disgusts Daniel. Meanwhile, Daniel likes highbrow opera, which bores John. However, each finds it preferable to spend the evening together rather than disagree about what to do and end up staying home angry. This interaction is modeled in the normal-form game below: Evening Entertainment John Part 1 Wrestling Opera Choose one or more: Daniel Wrestling 12.00, 4.00 0,0 Identify any pure strategy equilibria of this game.

In Las Vegas, roulette is played on a wheel with 38 slots, of which 18 are black, 18 are red, and 2 are green (zero and double-zero). Your friend impulsively takes all $361 out of his pocket and bets it on black, which pays 1 for 1. This means that if the ball lands on one of the 18 black slots, he ends up with $722, and if it doesn't, he ends up with nothing. Once the croupier releases the ball, your friend panics; it turns out that the $361 he bet was literally all the money he has. While he is risk-averse - his utility function is u(x) =, where x is his roulette payoff - you are effectively risk neutral over such small stakes. a. When the ball is still spinning, what is the expected profit for the casino? b. When the ball is still spinning, what is the expected value of your friend's wealth? c. When the ball is still spinning, what is your friend's certainty equivalent (i.e., how much money would he accept with certainty to walk away from his bet). Say you propose the following…
