Dennis is the International Representative of ABS-CBN and he is planning to partner with a foreign TV network, either BBC or Al-Jazeera. He also learned that ABS- CBN’s closest competitor, GMA 7, is planning to partner with a foreign TV network either CNN or Fox News. If ABS-CBN partners with BBC, it will lose $7,000 if GMA partners with CNN or gain $9000 if GMA 7 partners with Fox News. If ABS-CBN partners with Al-Jazeera, it will gain $2,000 if GMA 7 partners with CNN or lose $4,000 if GMA 7 partners with Fox News. What should be Dennis’ strategy? How much gain or loss for ABS-CBN will he expect? What should be the strategy of GMA 7?

You have three tickets to a Celtics game on a night that you are going to be out of town (so the value of unsold tickets is zero to you). There are only four possible buyers of a Celtics ticket. The table below lists the respective reservation prices of these four possible buyers: Customer Reservation Price 1 $25 2 $35 3 $50 4 $60 You consider inviting bids using an English auction to sell your tickets. How much total revenue can you generate using the English auction mechanism from the sale of the three tickets? [Bids can be made in increments of $1.00]
Consider the following strategic interaction between two Australia telecommuncation companies deciding to set the prices of their ‘unlimited calls‘ mobile package.Try to explain the business reasons behind the relationships between the various payoffs. For example, why is Low the best response to the opponent playing High? Why is the payoff from (High,High) higher for both players than from (Medium, Medium)?

a. Consider the game faced by the British and Dutch managers when both are given contracts that compensate them with (1)/(2) of 1% of revenue. The strategic form game is shown. Find the Nash equilibria. b. Now consider the game between the British and Dutch shareholders as to what kind of contracts to give their managers. Assume that they simultaneously choose between a contract that gives the manager 1% of profit and one that gives him (1)/(2) of 1% of revenue. Assume, as before, that the shareholders’ payoff is profit (and we ignore the trivial amount that they pay to their managers). After a pair of contracts is selected, the two contracts are revealed to both managers, and the managers then choose between supply levels of low, moderate, and high. Find all SPNE.
There are two oil producers, Saudi Arabia and Iran (these are countries which we are treating as players in this example). The market price will be $60/barrel if the total volume of sales is 9 million barrels daily, $50 if the total volume of sales is 11 million barrels daily, and $35 if the total volume of sales is 13 million barrels daily. Saudi Arabia has two strategies; either produce 8 million barrels daily or 6 million. Iran has two strategies; either produce 3 million barrels daily or 5 million. Assume for simplicity that marginal cost of production is zero for both countries. Here is the normal form representation of this game (where Saudi Arabia and Iran are players, they can choose strategies over what quantity to produce and they face payoffs in terms of profits). Note that the following paragraph is simply an explanation of this representation of the game. If you are already comfortable with the structure, feel free to skip to the questions below the horizontal line…
Consider a market for an imported good. There are no domestic producers. The market supply function is assumed to be upward sloping and the market demand function is assumed to be downward sloping. There is no market failure in the beginning. The government is considering imposing a tariff or a quota to increase tax revenue. Bear in mind that producer surplus is not considered as part of social welfare since they are all foreigners. a. 8% With the help of a diagram, identify the effects on consumer surplus, producer surplus and social welfare with the imposition of tariff.b. 8% With the help of a diagram, identify the effects on consumer surplus, producer surplus and social welfare with the imposition of quota, whereas the quota equals the market quantity in part a. c. 4% As an advisor to the government, which option will you recommend?
