QUESTION 13 Consider a market where two firms (1 and 2) produce differentiated goods and compete in prices. The demand for firm 1 is given by D₁(P₁, P2) = 140 - 2p1 + P2 and demand for firm 2's product is D2 (P1, P2) 140 - 2p2 + P1 Both firms have a constant marginal cost of 20. What is the Nash equilibrium price of firm 1? (Only give a full number; if necessary, round to the lower integer; no dollar sign.)
There are two firms in the market. Denote the price and the quantity of firm j by p; and q; , respectively. Those two products are differentiated and the demand system is given by 91 = 100 – 2p1 + P2 92 = 100 + pi – 2p2 For simplicity, assume zero production costs, meaning that profit is equal to revenue. Consider the two-stage game in which firm 1 decides the price first and then firm 2 choose its price after observing firm 1's price. If firm 1's price is 24, what is the best response price of firm 2? Report only the value . Answer:
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
On a duopolistic market, two tobacco firms are considering separately whether or not to engage in a marketing campaign. The market share gained from advertising will depend on whether the other competitor also advertises. The payoffs in millions of pounds for the firms are displayed in the following payoffs table where the first figure in the bracket denotes the payoff to A, and the second figure the payoff to B. Firm B\Firm A Firm A advertises Firm A no advertising Firm B advertises (60,75) (20,150) Firm B no advertising (120, 25) (100,120) a. Is there a dominant strategy? If so, what is the dominant strategy? Explain the meaning of a dominant strategy. b. Is there a Nash equilibrium? If so, what is it? Explain briefly what this implies. Explain the concept of Nash equilibrium. c. Does this advertising game pose a prisoners' dilemma? Justify your answer and explain what this means for the case of making advertising in cigarettes illegal.
When the firms in an oligopoly are in a cooperative equilibrium and are maximizing their joint profits, which of the following four statements is false? A) MR > MC for each individual firm. B) P> MC for each individual firm. C) An individual firm could increase profits by cheating. D) The firms in the industry will jointly be earning monopoly profits. E) None of the above statements is false.
Consider a market in which there are two firms: A and B. Each firm produces a differentiated product and chooses its price. Assume that each firm can set price equal to $60 or $70. The payoffs associated with each set of prices are shown. If the firms choose price simultaneously, then the Nash equilibrium price for firm A is chooses price first and can commit to that price, then firm A will set its price equal to If firm A ○ A. $70; $60 B. $70; $70 ○ C. $60; $70 ○ D. $60; $60 Q Firm B's Price ✓ $60 $70 $1800 $1650 $60 $1800 $2250 Firm A's Price $2250 $2200 $70 $1650 $2200
Can you help me solve this please?
Two firms compete in a single market (duopoly) with demand given by QD-60-P. The two firms have identical cost functions, C(q)=2q. Suppose firm 1 chooses its output first, following by firm 2 (Stackelberg model). In this case, firm 1 produces ✓ units and firm 2 produces ✓. Firm 1 earns ✓ units. The price in the market is ✓and firm 2 earns $ $ Does firm 1 have a first-mover advantage here?
Q4. Suppose two firms (firm 1 and firm 2) sell differentiated products and compete by setting prices. Firms have a zero cost of production. The demand functions are q₁ = 1- P₁ + P₂ and q2 = 1-P₂ + P₁ What will be the price charged by each firm in a simultaneous-move game?
Consider a strategic interaction between firms 1 and 2. In Stage 1, firm 1 chooses the level of advertising a > 0. In stage 2, firm 2 learns about firm 1's amount of advertising a. Subsequently, firms 1 and 2 compete in a Cournot fashion. That is, firms 1 and 2 simultaneously and independently choose their outputs: q1 and q2, where qi denotes the output of firm i = 1,2. The price that the consumers are willing to pay for the product produced by the two firms, or the inverse aggregate demand function, is given by 6a - q1 - q2. Firm 1's advertising cost is a3. Both firms have zero production costs. Both firms maximize their individual profits (equal to the total revenue minus total cost). In the unique subgame perfect equilibrium of the game, the two firms will choose the following strategies: a. Firm 1 will choose strategy (a = 3, q1 = a/3) while firm 2 will choose strategy q2 = a/3 b. Firm 1 will choose strategy (a = 1, q1 = 16/3 ) while firm 2 will choose strategy q2 = 16/3 c. Firm 1…
Consider an oligopoly with three firms that produce a homogeneous product. The market demand for the industry is Q = 120 - P. Market supply is determined by the output decisions of the firms. That is, Q = q1 + q2 + q3, where qi is the output of firm i. Each firm can produce at zero cost, and the firms behave non-cooperatively in deciding their output levels.A) Find the Cournot equilibria in this industry.B) What are the profits of each firm?C) Would (any) two firms have an incentive to merge, effectively converting the industry into a duopoly?
