Select the correct statements. Note: Multiple correct, multiple selections. Topics covered: Stackelberg, Cournot, and Bertrand models. O A. Suppose the inverse market demand function is P (y) = a - by, and the marginal cost of each firm is K (same and constant). In this market, the market price will be higher if the market is a Stackelberg duopoly than the market price if it is a Cournot duopoly market. В. A Stackelberg leader will necessarily make at least as much profit as he would if he acted as a Cournot oligopolist. O C. Suppose, in a Stackelberg duopoly, the follower's output is measured on the horizontal axis. Profits to the follower will increase as we move to isoprofit lines that are further to the left. D. The equilibrium in Bertrand duopoly where both firms sell identical products is Pareto efficient. Е. In Cournot duopoly, if each firm has the same marginal MC = K, each firm produces the same level of output and earns the same profit.
4. The following payoff matrix shows the profit payoff to firms A and B from combinations of price strategies HI and LO. A НІ LOW B HI (6, 6) (16, -5) LOW (-7, 15) (0, 0) (a) In a one period game, what strategy would each firm follow, and why? Determine the equilibrium on the one-period game. (b) Now assume the game is infinite in length. Firm B goes HI in period 1 and continues with HI so long as A does as well. Firm A is deciding between HI and LO. Determine the range of discount rates for which HI is the better choice for Firm A.

Consider a oligopoly with two firms. Each firm has constant marginal cost of 3 dollar per unit and zero fixed costs. Suppose the market demand curve is P = 15-Q, where Q=Q1+Q2 is the sum of the quantities produced by both firms. Suppose each firm can produce either 1, 2, 3, or 4 units. Which of the following is an optimal collusive outcome for the firms? O Each firm produces 2 units. Each firm produces 4 units. O Each firm produces 3 units. O Each firm produces 1 unit.
H7. For q1=120-2p1-p2 and q2=120-2p2+p1, show that the duopolists have incentives to collude as well as find the -joint profit-maximizing price, output and profit and find each firm’s price, output and profit. What is the optimal defection of each firm, is collusion Nash equilibrium? Show in 2x2 matrix. Is it a prisoner’s dilemma?

The graph below shows a duopolistic market. The firms in this market produce and sell identical products. The graph below shows the market demand, a corresponding marginal revenue curve for the product, and an identical marginal cost curve for each firm.

In 2018, Delta Air Lines said that it was increasing its fares by 4% because its fuel bill jumped by 33% from the previous yoar. Other airines also announced fare increases. Assuming that these firms are oligopolistic and the outcome is a Nash-Coumot equilibrium, why did the prices rise less than in proportion to the firms' cost? Price rose less than the firms' costs in this oligopoly because O A. demand is not perfectly inelastic. O B. consumers are not price sensitive. OC. the firms are price takers. D. air travel has no close substitutes.
