Suppose that the central bank for this economy suddenly and unexpectedly decreases the money supply in an effort to reduce inflation. As a result of this unanticipated policy action, actual inflation falls to 3%. On the previous graph, use the black point (plus symbol labeled "B") to illustrate the short-run effects of this policy. Suppose that now, after a period of 3% inflation, households and firms begin to expect that the inflation rate will persist at the level of 3%. On the previous graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to draw SRPC₂, the short-run Phillips curve that is consistent with these expectations, assuming that it is parallel to SRPC₂- Finally, using the orange point (square symbol labeled "C"), indicate on the previous graph the new, long-run equilibrium for this economy. The inflation rate at point C is unemployment rate at point A. the inflation rate at point A, and the unemployment rate at point C is Was the central bank able to achieve its goal of lowering…
Consider the following figure familiar from the lecture on differentiated oligopoly. A D P2 F P2 -4 H P1 Valuation for Firm 1 (v1) Are the following statements true or false? 1. When prices are p, and p2, consumers in areas B, C, D, F, G, and I purchase from Firm 1. 2. When prices are p, and p,, consumers in area H do not buy from either Firm. 3. When prices are p, and p2, consumers on the boundary between areas B and Care indifferent between purchasing the product from Firm 1 or Firm 2. 4. Suppose Firm 1's price is fixed at p,. If Firm 2 changes its price from p, to p2 - 4, then consumers in areas E, F, and G will switch from buying from Firm 1 to buying from Firm 2. 5. Suppose there are no consumers in areas A and B, but there are consumers in all the other regions, and suppose that Firm 2's marginal cost is zero. Then p, cannot be profit maximizing for Firm 2.

Consider a market with two firms, Coke and Pepsi, that produce soft drinks. Both firms must choose whether to charge a high price ($1.25) or a low price ($0.65) for their soft drinks. These price strategies with corresponding profits are depicted in the payoff matrix to the right. Coke's profits are in red and Pepsi's are in blue. Coke's dominant strategy is to pick a price of dominant strategy is to pick a price of $ What is the Nash equilibrium for this game? A. Coke and Pepsi will both choose a price of $1.25. B. Coke will choose a price of $1.25 and Pepsi will choose a price of $0.65. and Pepsi's O C. Coke will choose a price of $0.65 and Pepsi will choose a price of $1.25. D.

There are three models to analyze oligopoly: Cournot, Bertrand, and Stackelberg.What is Bertrand Paradox? Describe briefly using words
. OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, was founded in 1969. Their original objective was to form a cartel to increase the price that they receive for their oil exports. Create a prisoner’s dilemma type game for two large members of OPEC (e.g. Saudi Arabia and Indonesia). Create numbers, where payoffs are total annual oil export revenues for each of these two countries. Verbally explain how you got your numbers. Find the Nash equilibrium. Based on this model, what strategy is in the oil exporters’ best interest (Nash or otherwise)? How do they make it happen? Create another prisoner’s dilemmamodel for all of OPEC on one side, and all non OPEC oil exporting nations on the other side. Create numbers, where payoffs are total annual oil export revenues for each of the two sides. Verbally explain how you created your numbers. Also create your numbers applying the fact that OPEC’s total production capacity is greater than total non OPEC exports…

Consider two firms in the Australia market. The table below depicts each firm’s profits, depending on what price both firms charge. a. Find (if any) each firm's dominant strategy. b. Which strategy does each firm choose in equilibrium when collusion (joint agreement) is not allowed? c. Suppose that collusion is allowed between the two firms. Could these firms benefit from collusion? Why or why not?
Part 2: First Long Question There are two French bakeries in a small town: Le Meilleur Croissant (C), owned by Camille, and Le Meilleur Pain Au Chocolat (P), owned by Paul. In each period of an infinitely repeated game, they compete a la Bertrand, with market demand given by Q(pmin) = 10 - Pmin- Even though they sell identical goods, they have different marginal costs: cc = 2 and %3D Cp = 4 (Paul bakes just as well but is bad at business decisions). There are no fixed costs. Question 6 Turns out that Camille and Paul are married, and so they choose prices to maximize the joint profits of the two firms. Because both love baking and love each other, they also jointly decide that both firms should be selling positive amounts in their optimal plan. What prices do they choose? Pc = 6, pp = 11 Pc = 6.5, pp = 6.5 Pc = 6, pp = 6 Pc = 7, pp = 7 %3D O pc = 6, pp = 7
