Consider two Cournot firms, Firm A and Firm B. Firm A has a marginal cost of 10 and Firm B has a marginal cost of 5. They face the market inverse demand function: P = 120 – Q How many units will Firm A produce?
Exercise 2.9. Consider an industry where there are two firms, a large firm, Firm 1, and a small firm, Firm 1. The two firms produce identical products. Let x be the output of Firm 1 and y the output of Firm 2. Industry output is Q=x+y. The price Pat which each unit of output can be sold is determined by the inverse demand function P=130-100. For example, if Firm 1 produces 4 units and Firm 2 produces 2 units, then industry output is 6 and each unit is sold for P = 130-60 = $70. For each firm the cost of producing each q units of output is C(q)=10q+62.5. Each firm is only interested in its own profits. The profit of Firm 1 depends on both x and y and is given by ПI,(x, y) = x[130− (x+y)]-(10x+62.5) and similarly the profit function of revenue cost Firm 2 is given by П2(x, y) = y[130−(x+y)] −(10y+62.5). The two firms revenue cost play the following sequential game. First Firm 1 chooses its own output x and commits to it; then Firm 2, after having observed Firm 1's output, chooses its own…
**Practice** Consider a market with three firms. Each firm has a different cost function. We assume C1(q1) = 7q1, C2(q2) = q2 + 1, and C3(q3) = 3q3.

Consider the weekly market for gyros in a popular neighborhood close to campus. Suppose this market is operating in long-run competitive equilibrium with many gyro vendors in the neighborhood, each offering basically the same gyros. Due to the structure of the market, the vendors act as price takers and each individual vendor has no market power.

Two firms compete on price every year. The inverse demand function each firm faces depends on which firm has chosen the lowest price that year. The one that did captures the entire market. If, on the other hand, both prices are the same then they split the market evenly. Consumers round up prices to the nearest integer. For the firm with the lowest price p, demand is given by: q = 24-2p: Marginal costs are constant and equal to $4 for both firms. a. Define the Normal form of the stage game and determine the Nash Equilibria, the Cooperative Equilibrium and the Optimal Deviation from cooperation. b. For the once repeated (2 stages) game, determine if a Nash Equilibrium exists that improves on simply playing the (better) Nash Equilibrium of the stage game twice c. For the infinitely repeated game, determine what the interest rate would have to be to prevent the firms from cooperating. d*. Determine the relation between the interest rate and the number of punishment periods in a…
In the Cournot equilibirum, what is the market price and units produced by firm 1 and firm 2?
There are two identical firms in an industry, 1 and 2, each with cost function , i = 1,2. The industry demand curve is P = 100 − 5X where industry output, X, is the sum of the two firms’ outputs (X1 + X2). (a) If each firm makes its output decisions on the assumption that the other will not react to its choices (the Cournot assumption), what is the equilibrium output for each firm? What is the equilibrium price? (b) Suppose that each firm takes it in turn to choose its level of output, on the assumption that the other’s output level is fixed. Would the process of adjustment be stable? (c) Suppose that firm 1 introduces a cost-saving innovation, so that its cost curve becomes C1 = 8X1. Firm 2’s cost curve and the industry demand curve are unchanged. What happens to the equilibrium quantity produced by each firm and to market price?
