Consider the Bertrand pricing game from class. If both firms have identical marginal cost of $10 and consumers will purchase from whichever firm is cheapest as long as the price is under $50, what will be the Nash equilibrium? A B C D 50, 50 50, 10 10, 10 10,50
Suppose that Flashfry and Warmbreeze are the only two firms in a hypothetical market that produce and sell air fryers. The following payoff matrix gives profit scenarios for each company (in millions of dollars), depending on whether it chooses to set a high or low price for fryers. Warmbreeze Pricing High Low Flashfry Pricing High 11, 11 2, 15 Low 15, 2 8, 8 For example, the lower-left cell shows that if Flashfry prices low and Warmbreeze prices high, Flashfry will earn a profit of $15 million, and Warmbreeze will earn a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Flashfry and Warmbreeze are both profit-maximizing firms. If Flashfry prices high, Warmbreeze will make more profit if it chooses a price, and if Flashfry prices low, Warmbreeze will make more profit if it chooses a price. If Warmbreeze prices high, Flashfry will make more profit if it chooses a price, and if Warmbreeze prices low, Flashfry will make more profit if…

Two duopolists are sharing a market in which they are contemplating whether to compete or to cooperate. If they cooperate and behave like a monopolist they will share the monopolist profit of $1800. If they compete each will get a profit of $800 but if one them cooperates while the other chooses to compete the one who cooperates gets $700 while the one who competes will end up with $1000. Set-up the game, explain the process and show the Nash-equilibrium reached when the game is played.
where is the nash equilibrium? find out the dominant strategy. it was discovered that two domestic manufacturing companies were fixing prices. if each company is silent, there is no penalty, but production and business are disrupted due to continuous investigation by the Fair Trade Commission. The penalty for revealing the estimated loss due to the investigation and collusion is as follows: Firm 2 Silence Disclosure Silence -200, -200 -590, 0 Firm 1 Disclosure 0, -590 -450, -450 fine( a hundred million won)
Please help with these two: 1. Consider a Duopoly model, in which two firms decide a quantity simultaneously. If they collude (setting the total quantity together), then each firm can earn (higher, or lower) profit than in the Cournot equilibrium. 2. Consider a collusion with two firms. The joint profit is maximized by setting quantity and price together. Each firm sells the agreed amount. However, believing that the other firm sells the agreed amount, there is always a temptation for the firm sell (more, or less) than the agreed amount.
Two rival companies competing in the same market need to decide their plans for future expansion of their stores. The Table below shows the possible outcomes of their mutually interdependent actions (payoffs are profits in £m) Giga Company Titanic Conglomerate No Change Refurbishment of existing stores Large Expansion No Change 30, 40 25, 35 15, 24 Refurbishment of existing stores 35, 30 28, 32 18, 33 Large Expansion 12, 22 18, 20 20, 25 The Nash equilibrium: (A) does not exist. (B) occurs when both firms choose Refurbishment of existing stores. (C) occurs when both firms choose Large Expansion. (D) occurs when both firms choose No Change.
QUESTION 13 Consider a market where two firms (1 and 2) produce differentiated goods and compete in prices. The demand for firm 1 is given by D₁(P₁, P2) = 140 - 2p1 + P2 and demand for firm 2's product is D2 (P1, P2) 140 - 2p2 + P1 Both firms have a constant marginal cost of 20. What is the Nash equilibrium price of firm 1? (Only give a full number; if necessary, round to the lower integer; no dollar sign.)
