- As firms enter and exit a monopolistically competitive market, what happens to productive efficiency in the long run? Group of answer choices 1-Productive efficiency will not be reached because in the long run, economic profits reach equilibrium. 2-Prices will rise to unprecedented levels, and productive efficiency will be reached. 3-The strongest firms will survive and the market will morph into an oligopolistic market. 4-Price will eventually intersect the average cost curve at a point where price > average cost, and productive efficiency will not be reachedarrow_forwardq52 If you advertise and your rival advertises, you each will earn 14 million in profits. If neither of you advertises, you will each earn 20 million in profits. However, if one of you advertises and the other does not, the firm that advertises will earn 10 million and the non-advertising firm will earn 16 million. If you and your rival plan to be in business for only one year, the Nash equilibrium is a. for each firm to advertise. b. for the other firm to advertise and your firm not to advertise. c. for your firm to advertise and the other not to advertise. d. for neither firm to advertise.arrow_forwardIs below market is Oligopoly?

- Q13 George and Jerry are competitors in a local market. Each is trying to decide if it is better to advertise on TV, on radio, or not at all. If they both advertise on TV, each will earn a profit of €3,000. If they both advertise on radio, each will earn a profit of €5,000. If neither advertises at all, each will earn a profit of €10,000. If one advertises on TV and the other advertises on radio, then the one advertising on TV will earn €4,000 and the other will earn €2,000. If one advertises on TV and the other does not advertise, then the one advertising on TV will earn €8,000 and the other will earn €5,000. If one advertises on radio and the other does not advertise, then the one advertising on radio will earn €9,000 and the other will earn €6,000. If both follow their dominant strategy, then George will: (a) advertise on TV and earn €3,000; (b) advertise on radio and earn €5,000; (c) advertise on TV and earn €8,000; (d) not advertise and earn €10,000;arrow_forwardAji owns a rental space in New York and is thinking of opening a restaurant in that space.

Collusive outcome versus Nash equilibrium Suppose there is a remote stretch of highway along which two restaurants, Last Chance Café and Desolate Diner, operate in a duopoly. Neither restaurant invests in keeping up with health code regulations, but regardless they both have customers as they are the only dining options along a 79- mile portion of the road. Both restaurants know that if they clean up and comply with health codes they will attract more customers, but this also means that they will have to pay workers to do the cleaning. If neither restaurant cleans, each will earn $11,000; alternatively, if they both hire workers to clean, each will earn only $8,000. However, if one cleans and the other doesn't, more customers will choose the cleaner restaurant; the cleaner restaurant will make $15,000, and the other restaurant will make only $3,000. Complete the following payoff matrix using the information just given. (Note: Last Chance Café and Desolate Diner are both…arrow_forward
