Firm 1 and Firm 2 are Stackelberg competitors. Firm 1 is the leader and Firm 2 is the follower. They have the same cost functions: Firm 1: C₁(Q1) = 4Q1 Firm 2: C2(Q2) = 4Q2 The market demand is QD = 42 -0.5P Compute the SPE of this game. In equilibrium, Firm 1 produces Q₁= and the price is P= v, Firm 2 produces Q2=
Two firms are engaged in Cournot (simultaneous quantity) competition. Market-level inverse demand is given by P = 160 − 4Q Firm 1 has constant marginal costs of MC1 = 8, while Firm 2 has constant marginal costs of MC2 = 24. 1) Does there exist a low enough positive marginal cost for firm 1 such that firm 1 acts like a monopoly in this market, if so what is the MC if not why?

Suppose a firm possesses monopoly power in two distinct markets with the following inverse-demand curves: 0 P₁ = 15-391 O P2 = 20-292 Production occurs at a central location with marginal cost given by MC = 0.5(91 +92) - 12 Assuming the firm maximizes profits, what price will be charged in market 2? (l.e. find P₂)
Question 3 The inverse market demand for fax paper is given by P=100-Q. There are two firms who produce fax paper. Firm 1 has al cost of production of C₁= 15*Q₁ and firm 2 has a cost of production of C₂=20*Q₂. 1) Suppose firm 1 and firm 2 compute simultaneously in quantities. What are the Cournot quantities and prices? What are the profits of firm 1 and 2? 2) Suppose firm 1 and firm 2 compete simultaneously in prices. What are the Bertrand quantities and prices? What are the profits of firm 1 and 2? 3) Suppose that firm play a Stackelberg game. First firm 1 sets the quantity in t=1, then, knowing which quantity firm 1 has set, firm 2 chooses the quantity in t=2. What are the Stackelberg quantities and prices? What are the profits od firm 1 and 2? Compared to part a) which firm benefits and which firm loses?
Consider the following Stackelberg duopoly. Both firms produce differentiated goods. For form 1, the demand is 91 = 10-P1+ P2. For form 1, the demand is 92=20-2p₂ + P 1. Firm 1 chooses the price first. Firm 2 chooses the price after observing the choice of firm 1. For firm, the total cost function is TC(q) = 2qi. What is the price set by firm 1? 63/9 71/9 140/3 35/3
Suppose the iceberg lettuce industry is a Cournot duopoly with two firms: Xtra Leafy (a) and Yummy Farms (y). Xtra Leafy produces q units of output and Yummy Farms produces qy units of output. Aggregate market output is Q = x + y. The (inverse) market demand schedule is: p = 176 - 2Q Both firms have identical cost structures: MC = MC₁ = ATC₂ = ATC₁ = $12 Find Xtra Leafy's Cournot reaction function of the form: 9x = a + bay Where "a" is the reaction function's intercept and "b" is its slope. Note: Please review the formatting instructions above. If any value is negative, be sure to include its negative sign. a. a= b. b = Hint: One of your answers will be negative. Think about why.
Two firms produce goods that are imperfect substitutes. If firm 1 charges price p1 and firm 2 charges price p2, then their respective demands are q1 = 12 - 2p1 + p2 and q2 = 12 + p1 - 2p2 So this is like Bertrand competition, except that when p1 > p2, firm 1 still gets a positive demand for its product. Regulation does not allow either firm to charge a price higher than 20. Both firms have a constant marginal cost c = 4. (a) Construct the best reply function BR1(p2) for firm 1. That is, p1 = BR1(p2) is the optimal price for firm 1 if it is known that firm 2 charges a price p2. Construct a Nash equilibrium in pure strategies for this game. Are there any Nash equilibria in mixed strategies? If yes, construct one; if no provide a justification. (b) Notice that for any given price p1, firm 1’s demand increases with p2, so firm 1 is better off when firm 2 charges a high price p2. What is the best reply to p2 = 20? What is the best reply to p2 = 0 (c) What prices for firm 1 are…
A monopoly sells its good in the U.S. and Japanese markets. The American inverse demand function is Pa = 90 - Qa' and the Japanese inverse demand function is P₁ = 80 - 2Qj, where both prices, På and p₁, are measured in dollars. The firm's marginal cost of production is m = $25 in both countries. If the firm can prevent resales, what price will it charge in both markets? (Hint: The monopoly determines its optimal (monopoly) price in each country separately because customers cannot resell the good.) The equilibrium price in Japan is $ (round your answer to the nearest penny) The equilibrium price in the U.S. is $. (round your answer to the nearest penny)
