Suppose the jeans industry is an oligopoly in which each firm sells its own distinctive brand of jeans. Each firm believes its rivals will not follow its price increases but will follow its price cuts. The demand curve for each company will be This demand curve means that firms in the jeans industry compete against one another.
Problem 1. HHI in the Bertrand Triopoly Equilibrium It's a Bertrand Triopoly - hence we know there are 3 firms in the industry-in-question, who competes in "price". The inverse demand functions for Firm 1, 2, and 3 are as follows: q1 = 40 - 1.5p1 +0.5p2 +p3 q2 = 40 + 1.5p1 - 3p2+p3 q3 = 40 + 2p1 + 1.5p2 - 4p3 For each firm, the marginal cost of production is $2.50/unit produced and sold. Apparently, the firms' products are differentiated. You cannot impose symmetry across firms. Therefore, please solve each firm's profit maximization problem, impose equilibrium, and solve for each firm's "action" in equilibrium. After that, please calculate the Herfindahl- Hirschman Index (HHI) in the industry in equilibrium.
A good example of an oligopoly would be... Group of answer choices 1-The production of electric energy in metropolitan Houston is run by one company that owns the majority market share. 2-Dry cleaning stores in Texas. The production of tennis balls where 4 firms dominate – Wilson, Dunlap, 3-Spalding, and Penn 4-Restaurants in Texas.
Could I have help with parts c and d of problem I’m a bit confused.
Explain with the aid of a diagram how an Oligopoly firm that is recognised as a leader in its industry will set it optimal price and output if it knows the market demand curve and it knows the supply curve of all the other.
The payoff matrix below is for two firms, A and B, deciding the quantity of their output levels. What is the dominant strategy of each firm? icrosc Firm B Strategy High output Low output High output 100, 80 0, 125 Firm A Low output 65, 0 40, 65 Both firms produce low levels of output. DO cGill Both firms produce high levels of output. Temp Firm A's dominant strategy is to produce low levels of output, but Firm B does not have a dominant strategy. Order Article O Firm B's dominant strategy is to produce low levels of output, but Firm A does not have a dominant strategy. Neither firm has a dominant strategy. oy 00 halysis
The table below shows the payoffs for two firms competing on price (a Bertrand duopoly). Firm A and Firm B can each choose to raise their prices, or to keep their prices low. A's Strategy Raise Price Table 14.4 B's Strategy Raise Price A's profit $6,000 B's profit $6,000 C. Don't A's profit $30,000 Raise B's profit $20,000 a. Firm A: Don't Raise Price Firm B: Don't Raise Price Based on the pay-off table above, what is the Nash equilibrium outcome? b. Firm A: Raise Price Firm B: Don't Raise Price Firm A: Don't Raise Price Firm B: Raise Price d. More than one answer is correct Don't Raise Price A's profit $20,000 B's profit $30,000 A's profit $10,000 B's profit $10,000

What kind of barriers to entry exist in oligopoly? (Give any two examples)
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?
Duopoly: 1. Consider a duopoly game with 2 firms. The market inverse demand curve is given by P(Q) = 120-Q, where Q = 9₁ +9₂ and q; is the quantity produced by firm i. The firm's long run total costs are given by C₁(9₁)=2q₁ and C₂(92)=92, respectively. a. Determine the Nash Equilibrium for Cournot competition, in which firms compete based on quantity. What is each firm's best response as a function of the other firm's output? Graph these best response functions in on the same graph. Compute the associated payoffs for each firm. b. Determine the Nash Equilibrium for Bertrand competition, in which firms compete based on price and stand ready to meet market demand at that price. What is each firm's best response as a function of the other firm's price? Graph these best response functions in on the same graph. Compute the associated payoffs for each firm. Game Th

The payoff matrix is as follows: Maison Company Stress newspapers Stress magazines Stress newspapers $8 mm, $9 mm $7 mm, $8 mm Fortnum Company Stress magazines $9 mm, $8 mm $8 mm, $7 mm. a. Is there a dominant strategy for each firm? If so, what is it? b. What will be the profit of each firm? c. Is this game an example of the prisoner's dilemma?
