Walmart (firm 1) and Amazon (firm 2) are a duopoly in the grocery market. They are faced with an inverse demand of P(Q1, Q2) = 16−2 (Q1+Q2) and total costs of TC(Qi) = 2Q2i, i= 1,2. Note that the marginal cost is not constant! 1. Obtain the Cournot equilibrium quantities and profits. 2. Obtain the Stackelberg equilibrium in which Walmart moves first. Compare with the Cournotequilibrium. 3. Obtain the cartel outcome (= shared monopoly). Compare with Stackelberg and Cournot.
