QD1 = 12-4P1 + P2, QS1 = 3+2P1-5P2. solve for P equilibrium and Q equilibrium
Problem 2. (SW 12.8.) Consider a product market with a supply function Q₁ =B₁ + B₁P₁ + už, a demand function Q 7o+u, and an equilibrium condition Q = Q, where u and u are mutually independent i.i.d. random variables, both with a mean of 0. = (a) Show that P; and us are correlated. (b) Show that the OLS estimator of 3₁ is inconsistent. Hint: The standard strategy for showing inconsistency: first, argue that ₁ will Var(P) converge in large samples to Co(P), second, use OLS calculations to show that Cov(Q³,P) # B₁. Var(P) (c) How would you estimate Bo, B₁, and %0?
Ali Receives Utility From (D)omestic Vaccines from Kayseri, and the Sinovac Vaccine-(F)oreign. The utility structure is U(D,F)=D x F. The price of the foreign vaccine because of increasing returns to scale is $200, whereas at its earlier stages, the domestic vaccine is produced at a higher cost, and higher price of $250. The government has given each and every citizen a fixed payment of $8000 to spend just on vaccines, but it has not specified which vaccines. a- Does Ali Solve the Utility Maximization Question in an interior equilibrium or a corner solution? How do you know? What condition does the interior equilibrium necessitate regardless. b- Find Ali's Utility Maximizing Level of Domestic and Foreign Vaccines when he uses just the government allowance on vaccines? What is his utility level? C- Suppose the government wants to decrease Turkey's health exports. It pushes a vaccine subsidy, just for domestic vaccines that makes the price of domestic equal to $160. How does the utility…
Four companies (Firm 1, 2, 3 and 4) are producing a product for the market. Each company will decide the number of products produced. You are given that • . Each firm can choose its qi. Given the quantites produced by four companies (denoted by 91, 92, 93, 94 respectively), the market price of the product is P = 400 - 91-92-93 - 94. Cost of producing one product is 20 (*Note: So the total cost for producing qi units of product is 20qi. Firm 1 and Firm 2 will first decide the quantities produced simultaneously at the beginning. After knowing 91 and 92, Firm 3 and Firm 4 will decide the quantities produced simultaneously. (a) State the strategic profiles of each firm. (b) Find all possible subgame perfect equilibrium for this games. Provide full justification to your answer.
Marbella has 101 residents. All wear the same fancy clothes and each has the same utility function, u(m, b, B) = m + 14b − b2 − B/50, where m is the amount of macaroni (in kilograms) that he or she eats per day, b is the number of hours that he or she spends on the beach per day, and B is the total number of person-hours spent per day on the beach by other residents of Marbella. Each has an income of $10 per day and macaroni costs $1 per kilogram. The city council is considering a law that would limit the amount of time that any person can spend on the beach. How many hours per day should they allow in order to maximize the utility of a typical Marbellite? A. 6 B. 9 C. 7 D. 10 E. They could not possibly be made better off by legislation that limits their freedom to choose.
Suppose the inverse demand curve in a market is D(p) =a-bp, where D(p) is the quantity demanded and p is the market price. Firm 1 is the leader and has a cost function c1(y1)=cy1 while firm 2 is the follower with a cost function c2(y2 )= y^22/2 (picture attached). Firm 1 sets its price to maximise its profit. Firm 1 correctly forecasts that the follower takes the price leader’s chosen price as given (price taker) and chooses output so as to maximise its own profit. Write down the profit function of the follower. Calculate the profit maximising quantity that the follower selects given the leader’s chosen price p (i.e., calculate the follower’s supply curve S(p)). Interpret the solution to the profit maximising problem. The leader is facing the residual demand curve R(p)=D(p)-S(p) with D(p) and S(p) as defined in (c) above. Calculate the leader’s residual demand curve using the result in (c). Solve for p as a function of the leader’s output y1, i.e. the inverse demand function facing…

20) This decision tree represents the expected profits and the standard deviations associated with three decisions facing a mobile phone producer (All figures are in millions of dollars). The root node (the one on the left) represents the decision of whether to produce the phones in China or North America. The second pair of nodes represent the decision of whether to market the phones in China or North America; and the final nodes represent the choice of selling price: if the phones are sold in China, they will be sold for either $30 or $40, whereas if they are sold in North America, they will be sold for either $40 or $50. Based on the calculated values, what is the company's best strategy?
