It may seem as though basic static games are too simple to describe the strategic choices faced by modern transnational firms. Yet simple normal-form games apply to the case studies presented in both of the textbooks. Present your observation of what many of these cases have in common. This is your rule category. Point out the cases that are exceptions, if any, and why you think they are different from the others. This is your exception category. In response to your classmates' posts, explain what circumstances would have to change to move a case from the rule category to the exception category, or

How do I determine values for Y that have dominant strategy? What is the Nash equilibirum? If the Market demand for two companies is P=120-Q and marginal cost is 20. How will the payoff matrix with strategies for each that show cournot equilibirum quantity/half of the monopoly quantity look? How do i solve for the nash equilibrium?
Discuss intuitively in which situations you think this game is better represented as a simultaneous move game and when it is better represented as a sequential move game
Suppose O2 and Vodafone are the only two telecommunicationscompanies in UK. Both companies are considering whether ornot to stop offering unlimited data plans. Each company has twostrategies: stop or don’t stop. The first entry in the brackets is the payoffsof O2 and the second entry is the payoffs of Vodafone, both in $million.What will be the dominant strategies of O2 and Vodafone and what willbe the Nash equilibrium? Explain your answers.
Solve for the Nash equilibrium (or equilibria) in each of the following games. (a) The following two-by-two game is a little harder to solve since firm 2’spreferred strategy depends of what firm 1 does. But firm 1 has a dominantstrategy so this game has one Nash equilibrium. Firm 2 Launch Don’tFirm 1 Launch 60, -10 100, 0 Don’t 80, 30 120, 0 What is the Nash equilibrium of this simultaneous-move game? (b) What would the outcome of this game be if instead firm 1 moved first and then, after seeing what firm 1 chose, firm 2 chose it strategy? In this case firm 1 doesn’t necessarily need to choose a best response, but firm 2 must choose a best response since it moves second.

Let G be the following static zero sum game. Rose ABCD А A 4 -2 Colin B C D -4 -3 L с -1 7 5 -2 5236 7123 -2 (a) Draw the movement diagram of G. (b) Using the method of iterated elimination of dominated strategies, find the smallest subgame of G from which the solution of G can be realized. (You do not have to find the solution of the game.)
· 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. - Question: Where is the Nash Equilibriur.?

One of the predictions of the oligopoly model is that: non-price competition is uncommon and price-cutting competition among rivals is common. O prices tend to remain relatively stable despite short-run fluctuations in market demand. the firms' costs of production (raw material, labor, advertising) remain constant over time. only one buyer (monopsony) will result in the long run.

O Macmillan Learning McLaren and Red Bull are competing for the Formula One Constructors' Championship and are deciding whether to increase their spending on their aerodynamic (aero) development. The matrix displays the payoffs to the team that result from each possible choice. Note that, due to other factors, the payoffs are not symmetrical. Assume that each team's goal is to earn as many points as possible. a. Does McLaren have a dominant strategy? If so, what is it? O Yes. Their dominant strategy is to leave aero development spending unchanged. O Yes. Their dominant strategy is to increase aero development spending. O No, they do not have a dominant strategy. b. Does Red Bull have a dominant strategy? If so, what is it? O Yes. Their dominant strategy is to increase aero development spending. Yes. Their dominant strategy is to leave aero Red Bull Raise spending Do not change spending McLaren Increase spending Do not change spending McLaren earns 142 points McLaren earns 360 points…
True or False?: (Recall that a strategic game is called Dominance Solvable if and only if exactlyone action profile remains after iteratively eliminating all strictly dominated actions.)If a strategic game is dominance solvable, it can have at most one Nash equilibrium.
Refer to the payoff matrix in question 8 at the end of this chapter. First, assume this is a one-time game. Explain how the $60/$57 outcome might be achieved through a credible threat. Next, assume this is a repeated game (rather than a one-time game) and that the interaction between the two firms occurs indefifi nitely. Why might collusion with a credible threat not be necessary to achieve the $60/$57 outcome?
