Suppose that Expresso and Beantown are the only two firms that sell coffee. The following payoff matrix shows the profit (in millions of dollars) each company will earn depending on whether or not it advertises: Beantown Advertise Doesn't Advertise Expresso Advertise 8, 8 15, 2 Doesn't Advertise 2, 15 11, 11 For example, the upper right cell shows that if Expresso advertises and Beantown doesn't advertise, Expresso will make a profit of $15 million, and Beantown will make a profit of $2 million. Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Expresso and Beantown are both profit-maximizing firms. If Expresso decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of million if Beantown advertises and a profit of million if Beantown does not advertise. If Expresso decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of million if Beantown advertises and a profit of million if Beantown does not advertise. If Beantown advertises, Expresso makes a higher profit if…
Problem 5.1. The inverse market demand for printer paper is given by P = 400 – 2Q. There are two firms who compete to produce this paper, each with a marginal cost of production equal to c = 40 over a large range of output (ie, assume constant marginal cost). The two firms compete in quantities, in other words they each simultaneously choose a quantity to produce (Cournot competition). Derive the Cournot-Nash equilibrium of this game. Please write final answers in the boxes, showing work in blank areas. (a) The reaction function for each firm. 91 (92): 92 (91) (b) Optimal output q for each firm. 92 = р = = π1 = (c) Market price (from demand curve). (d) Firm profits. 92 = π2 =
To advertise or not to advertise Suppose that Creamland and Dairy King are the only two firms that sell ice cream.

Assume this is a simultaneous game and that Creamland and Dairy King are both profit-maximizing firms. If Creamland decides to advertise, it will earn a profit of _________ million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of ________ million if Dairy King does not advertise. If Creamland decides not to advertise, it will earn a profit of __________ million if Dairy King advertises and a profit of _________…
QUESTION 18 Imagine the following game: The players: Emirates Airlines and Etihad Airlines The choice: cut fares by 50% or leave fares alone If both airlines cut fares, Each airline's profit = 400 million If neither airline cuts fares, Each airline's profit = 600 million If only one airline cuts its fares, Its profit = 800 million The other airline's profits = 200 million How many million each company will make in the Nash equilibrium of the game?
3) Recently, a major question in the news is why the Afghan army collapsed so quickly and unexpectedly in the face of the Taliban offensive. To help understand the situation, consider the following simplified model of the situation. Assume that there are two Afghan soldiers in the same unit. Each can stay and fight the Taliban or desert. If both stay and fight, they will win any battle against the Taliban, which each values at 100 utility. If either soldier deserts, the Taliban wins, which they each values at 0 utility. In addition, if only one soldier stays, that soldier will be killed by the Taliban, which he values at -1000 utility. In addition, the Taliban is offering a bounty to any soldier that deserts. ne soldier does not care about this, and would not take the bounty, while the other values the bounty at 50 utility. a. Draw the game based on this scenario. b. Find all pure strategy Nash equilibria c. Find the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium d. What does this game and the…
