Sometimes oligopolies in the same industry are very different in size. Suppose we have a duopoly where one firm (Film A) is large and the other film (Film B) is small, as the prisoners dilemma box in Table 10.4 shows. Assuming that both films know the payoffs, what is the likely outcome in this case?

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.
Solve for the Stackelberg subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium for the fol- lowing game tree (see next page). What is the joint-profit maximizing outcome? Why is that not the outcome of this game?
a) Draw an extensive form game with 4 outcomes (2 moves for player 1 followed by 2 moves for 2 after each of 1's moves) and no pure strategy Nash equilibrium. b) Write the strategic form to verify your answer to (a) c) Draw an extensive form 2-player game, in which both players always move, that has exactly 4 outcomes, 1 subgame perfect Nash equilibrium and no non-subgame perfect Nash equilibrium and no dominant strategies. d) Write the strategic form and use it to verify your answer to (b)
