Game theory is often used by firmscompeting under an oligopoly as a means of determining their best strategy. Why isgame theory a useful tool and which characteristics of an oligopoly make itparticularly useful for firms competing in this market structure? One outcome of anoligopoly is that firms may have an incentive to collude. Explain some of theconditions that make collusion more likely to occur and how game theory canexplain why collusive agreements often break down.
