1. Two firms compete in price in a market for infinite periods. In this market, there are N consumers; each buys one unit per period if the price does not exceed $10 and nothing otherwise. Consumers buy from the firm selling at a lower price. In case both firms charge the same price, assume N/2 consumers buy from each firm. Assume zero production cost for both firms. A possible strategy that may support the collusive equilibrium is: Announce a price of $10 if the equilibrium price has always been $10; otherwise, announce the price as in Nash equilibrium of the one-shot Bertrand game. 1.a Let & be the discount factor. Find the condition on & such that the above strategy can indeed support the collusive equilibrium. Now suppose that Firm 2's marginal cost is $4, but Firm 1's marginal cost remains at zero. 1.b Find the condition on & under which Firm 2 will not deviate from the collusive equilibrium. 1.c Find the condition on under which Firm 1 will not deviate from the collusive…

Demand for product X is X = 140 - 2P, where P is price. Two companies, Company OldRags and Company ZeroFun both produce good X. Both companies have total cost 22 + 2X, where X; is a company's production output. If OldRags produces 30 units and ZeroFun makes 42 units, then OldRags will have profit and ZeroFun will have profit O 938; 1,322 938; 1,222 O 978; 1,322 O 978; 1,222

In class we talked about clothing makers that concentrate (cluster) around a button maker. Figure 1 below is a graph that we drew. I have labeled the curves ambiguously (1 and 2) on purpose. The variable N represents the number of firms in the cluster. 5 Use this information to answer the questions below. Figure 1 Curve 1 -Curve 2 N
Suppose that the demand in a particular industry is given by Qd = 100 2P.

Q² 4 PROBLEM (4) Firm A and Firm B with identical total costs TCA (QA) related goods and competing in prices (Bertrand competition), with demands: QA = 510 - 2PA + pв and Qв= 510 - 2pв+ pa, respectively. = and TCB (QB) Q² 4 are producing (a) Calculate the Bertrand-Nash equilibrium prices. (b) Calculate the prices they charge when A is the leader and sets its price first, anticipating B's best response and taking it into account (like in Stackelberg competition). (c) Calculate the prices they charge when they collude, in order to maximize sum of their profits.
Janeek and Raj are the only two growers who provide organically grown com to a local grocery store. They know that if they cooperated and produced less com, they could raise the price of the corn. If they work independently, they will each earn $100. If they decide to work together and both lower their output, they can each earn $150. if one person lowers output and the other does not, the person who lowers output will earn $0 and the other person will capture the entire market and will earn $200. Reference the game illustrated below where the first payout in each cell is for Janeek and the second is for Raj.
