• The Chinese government has created a fund worth more than 20 trillion won to foster the semiconductorindustry. Although there is a large technological difference between memory semiconductors, systemsemiconductors can be developed in a short period of time. The number of companies producinghomogeneous quality products has increased.• Question (a) In the Cournot game, when the number of firms increases from 2 to n, compare the output,total output, and profit of each firm with N.E. in the Cournot model.• Question (b) If the number of companies participating in the semiconductor market increases to infinity,that is, in a perfectly competitive market, what will be the equilibrium point?

Let ci be the constant marginal and average cost for firm i (so that firms may have different marginal costs). Suppose demand is given by P=1-Q. Calculate the Nash equilibrium quantities assuming there are two firms in a Cournot market. Also compute market output, market price, firm profits, industry prof- its, consumer surplus, and total welfare. Represent the Nash equilibrium on a best-response function diagram. Show how a reduction in firm 1’s cost would change the equilibrium. Draw a representative isoprofit for firm 1.
Consider an oligopolistic industry with N competing firms. Suppose that these firms have no fixed costs and that they all have the same marginal costs. Each firm must choose what quantity to produce independently of each other, and all firms must choose at the same time. If we decrease the number of firms in this industry (to, for example N−1), the market price Group of answer choices A. increases B. decreases C. remains unchanged D. becomes nil E. none of the above
Consider a game where a potential market Entrant is trying to decide whether or not to enter the market. An Incumbent monopolist is established and can choose to cut the price, maintain the price, or raise the price in hopes of deterring the Entrant from entering. Incumbent Entrant Enter Stay Out Cut Price -4,4 0,9 Maintain Price 4,6 0,12 Raise Price 5,5 0, 13 a) Suppose the Entrant and the Incumbent make their decisions simultaneously. Is there a pure strategy Nash equilibrium? If so, what is it? b) Suppose the players move sequentially, and that the Entrant moves first. Set up the game tree and solve for the equilibrium path. Can the Incumbent deter entry? Explain. c) Now suppose that the Incumbent moves first. Again, set up the game tree. What is the subgame perfect Nash equilibrium outcome now? Can the Incumbent deter entry now?

MCQ 26 In game theory, a dominant strategy can best be described as: A a strategy played by a dominant firm to raise its market share В a strategy played by a firm to dominate its rivals C I do not want to answer this question. D all the answers to this question are correct E a strategy that leaves every player in a game better off F a strategy that is optimal for a player, irrespective of what the other players do
Question 2 Suppose there are two players, an entrant and an incumbent firm playing the following game: the entrant decides whether to stay out or enter. The incumbent decides whether to innovate or not. If the entrant stays out, the entrant firm gets a payoff of 0 whereas the incumbent firm gets a payoff od 1500, independent of the action of the incumbent firm. If the entrant enters and the incumbent doesn't innovate, the entrant gets 1200 whereas the incumbent gets 500. If the entrant enters and the incumbent innovates, the entrant and the incumbent get a payoff of 1000 each. a) Draw the normal form of the game and solve for the Nash equilibrium/equilibria. b) Suppose the game is dynamic: first the entrant decides whether to enter or stay out. If the entrant enters, the incumbent decides whether to innovate or not. If the entrant stays out, the incumbent doesn't get to play. Draw the extensive form of the fame, mark the subgames on paper and solve for the subgame-perfect Nash…
Scenario: Madison Company is a large manufacturer and distributor of cake supplies. It is based in Chicago(Headquarters) and Trinidad. It sends supplies to firms throughout the United States and the UnitedKingdom. It markets its supplies through periodic mass mailings of catalogs to those firms. Itsclients can make orders over the phone and Madison ships the supplies upon demand.The main competition for Madison’s in the United States comes from one U.S. firm and oneCanadian firm. A British firm has a small share of the U.S. market but is at a disadvantagebecause of its distance. The British firm’s marketing and transportation costs in the U.S. marketare relatively high. Given that one-third of the company sales are exported to the United Kingdom and invoices forexports are in US dollars, the demand for its exports is highly sensitive to the value of the Britishpound. In order to maintain its inventory at a proper level, it must forecast the total demand for itsproducts which is…

A producer of manure is located next to a bakery. The producer of manure produces M pounds of manure daily and earns profits of 156M - M². The bakery sells C' cakes daily, and it earns profits of 312C-C²-MC (the strong smell of manure drives away the appetite of many would-be customers of the bakery). In a competitive equilibrium solution, where each business seeks to maximize profits, a total of if be sold daily. From a social point of view, the producer of manure should not produce at all. Choose one: A. true B. false pounds of manure will
