Two gas stations in a rural town can engage in collusion over pricing. Because drivers often just stop at the first station they see as they go through town, price competition is not that severe in the first place. Assume either station can price gas at $0.30 above average total cost or $0.50 above average total cost. If they have equal prices, they split the market. If they have unequal prices, the lower price station gets 75% of the market (assume for simplicity no change in the size of the market; price elasticity of demand is very low for short term changes in the price of oil).a. Draw the normal form representation of this game. Identify the key aspects of the game.b. Identify the dominant strategy, if any, for each player.c. Identify any Nash equilibria.

Macmillan Leaming Monopolistic Competition, Oligopoly and Game Theory End of Chapter Problems Low-fare carriers such as Spirit, Allegiant, and Frontier have been successful at gaining market share by offering low base fares but then charging for everything from seat assignments to snacks to carry-on bags. What action would you recommend to the major airlines (Delta, United, and American) to avoid a prisoners' dilemma outcome? The major airlines should: Merge together to form a single competing airline, which would create cost savings and economies of scale. Decrease the prices of all their tickets so as to compete with the low-fare carriers. Break up their companies into more numerous firms, which would provide greater competition to the low-fare carriers. Create a new class of tickets that will be priced lower and offer fewer amenities, which would compete directly with the low-fare carriers.
