All question are with regards to the following set up. There are two firms A and B. Firms compete in a Cournot Duopoly in Karhide. They set quantities qa and qB. Inverse demand is P(qA + qB) = 18 – qA – qB and costs are C(q) (in Karhide,) and firm A is a foreign firm (from Orgoreyn.) The government of Karhide engages in a strategic trade intervention by giving firm B a per unit subsidy of s. (That is, when firm B produces and sells qB units, firm B receives a payment of s * qB from the government.) You must show your work at each step, unless the questions is followed by "No work required." 3 * q for both firms. Firm B is a domestic firm (4) We now consider the government’s choice of s≥0. We can see from above thatprofits and outputs depend upon s. With that in mind, let πB(s) and qB(s) denote firm B’s profit and output as a function of the subsidy s. Let qA(s) denote firm A’s equilibrium output as a function of s. Let G(s) = πB(s) − s*qB(s) denote the government’s objective…
