Assume there are two firms, firm A and B, engaged in Cournot competition. The industry demand curve is given by P = 60-Q, where Q = QA+QB denotes industry output. Each firm faces a marginal cost of production equal to $30. In equilibrium, what will be the output level of firm A? O O O O 10 20 30 40
2. Consider a model of vertical relations in the market where there are three stages of production. A single farmer produces wheat at cost of c = 2 and sells it to a single flour producer at pf: The flour producer can produce one unit of flour from one unit of wheat with no additional cost, and sell them to a single pancake producer at pw. The pancake producer uses one unit of flour to produce one unit of pancake with no additional cost. Finally, the pancake producer sells them to consumers at p. Consumer's demand is given by p = 10 - Q. Calculate the farmer's optimal price p*f, the flour producer's optimal price p*w, and the pancake producer's optimal consumer price p*. Is there "triple" marginalization? (show your work)

3. Consider a simple two-firm case. Suppose both firms produce the same good, but at different marginal costs (with one firm at a lower marginal cost than the other). In this type of situation, compare and contrast the market price, profit, and total output between Cournot and Stackelberg models. Separately consider when 0 the cost-efficient firm is the first-mover vs. when (i) the cost-inefficient firm is the first-mover in the Stackelberg model.

Consider a market with two firms. Each firm is located at one end of a line with lenght one. There is a mass one of consumers. The location of each consumer is given by 0 < x < 1 which is uniformly distributed (with density 1). Firms have no cost of production and set price simultaneously. a) Derive the demand for each firm by identifying the location of the indifferent con- sumer for each price pair. Assume that all consumers know about both products. b) Write down the profit functions and calculate the Nash equilibrium prices for both firms. c) Assume that consumers only know the product if they have received and ad. Suppose that ads are not targeted and each firm reaches any consumer with probability 0.5 with her ad. Calculate the size of the different consumer segments. Determine the resulting demand and the new Nash equilibirum prices of the firms. d) Suppose that the ads are costless. When do the firms make larger profits?

We now consider a duopoly model where the firms offer products with different qualitiesand consumers differ from each other in how much they care for quality. Suppose the firms offer their products with quality si ∈ [0, 1] and consumers’ ‘location’ in terms ofhow much they care about quality is given by a parameter θ ∈ [0, 1] and consumers are uniformlydistributed over this interval. Suppose the firms first choose their quality s1 and s2 and then setprices p1 and p2. A consumer of type θ derives utilityvi = r − pi + θsifrom consuming a unit from firm i and where reservation price r is high enough that everyonepurchases from one of the two firms. Suppose the marginal cost of producing increases with quality.There are no fixed costs and the total variable cost isC(qi, si) = csiqiso that marginal cost is csi and increases with quality. Further, let c = 1 so marginal cost is siConsider the second stage where given a choice of qualities s1 and s2 with s1 < s2, the firmssimultaneously…
