Two firms produce Bliffs. They compete by simultaneously choosing prices in a single period. The demand for Bliffs is given by P(Q) = 100-2Q where Q is market quantity and P is market price. Firm 1 has costs C1(q1) = 20q1 and Firm 2 has costs C2(q2) = 10q2. Which statement is true? In the Nash equilibrium to the game, both firms play dominated strategies None of the other answers are correct O In the Nash equilibrium to the game, both firms play dominant strategies In the Nash equilibrium to the game, both firms slowly lower prices towards marginal costs O In the Nash equilibrium to the game, both firms set price equal to marginal cost

Consider a market in which there are two firms: A and B. Each firm produces a differentiated product and chooses its price Assume that each firm can set price equal to $60 or $70. The payoffs associated with each set of prices are shown If the firms choose price simultaneously, then the Nash equilibrium price for firm A If firm A chooses price first and can commit to that price, then firm A will Firm B's Price is set its price equal to $00 $70 OA. $60, $60 OB. $70, $70 $2700 $2475 $60 OC 570, $60 OD. $60, $70 $2700 $3375 Firm A's Price $3375 $3300 $70 $2475 $3300

Suppose that identical duopoly firms have constant marginal costs of $20 per unit. Firm 1 faces a 110-2p1 + P2, where q1 is Firm 1's output, p1 is Firm 1's price, and p2 is Firm 2's price. Similarly, the demand Firm 2 faces is 92 110-2p2 + p1. What is Firm 1's profit demand function of 9₁ under the Nash-Bertrand equilibrium, assuming no fixed costs? = =

Consider the following static game with two firms as the players. Each firm must decide either to upgrade (U) an existing good to a new version; or not upgrade it (N). The decisions are simultaneous. If a firm chooses to upgrade, they have to pay a fixed cost of 7. If they don’t upgrade, there is no fixed cost. The marginal cost is always equal to 3. The demand side of the market is as follows: If neither firm upgrades, each firm sells 2 units at price 4. If both firms upgrade, each firm sells 3 units at price 5. If only one firm upgrades, the one who upgrades sells 5 units at price 5, and the other firm does not sell anything.

There are two firms in a market and they compete in a Nash-Cournot manner. Firm 1 faces the demand function p1(g1,92) = 200 - 91 - 92, and has a total cost function TC1 = (91)2. Firm 2 faces the demand function p2(91,92) = 160 - 92 - 91, and has a total %3D cost function TC2 = (92)2. Answer each of the following questions. a. Find the Nash-Cournot equilibrim output and price v for firm 1. b. Find the Nash-Cournot equilibrim output v and price v for firm 2.

Suppose the airline industry consisted of only two firms: American and Texas Air Corp. Let the two firms have identical cost functions, C(q) - 40g Assume that the demand curve for the industry is given by P= 190 -Q and that each firm expects the other to behave as a Cournot compedtor. Calculate the Coumot-Nash equilibrium for each firm, assuming that each chooses the output level that maximizes as profes when taking its rival's output as given. What are the profits of each firm? (Round all quantities and dollar amounts to two decimal places) When competing, each firm will produce units of output. In tum, each firm will earn profit of $. What would be the equilibrium quantity if Texas Air had constant marginal and average costs of $10 and American had corntant marginal and average costs of S407 It Texas Air had constant marginal and average costs of $10 and American had constant marginal and average costs of S40, American would produceunits and Texas Air Corp. would produce units.

Fill in the blanks: Consider the department store market that has two rivals, DJs and Myer. Each firm can choose to either Advertise or Not Advertise. These choices are made simultaneously. The payoffs are given below in the following figure.

Consider a Cournot duopoly. The inverse demand function of the market is given by p = 10-Q, where p is the market price, and Q = 91 +92 is the aggregate output. The marginal costs of the two firms are C₁ 1 and C₂ = 4. = (a) Solve for the Nash equilibrium of the game including firm out- puts, market price, aggregate output, and firm profits. (b) Now suppose these two firms play a 2-stage game. In stage 1, they produce capacities 9₁ and 92, which are equal to the Nash equilibrium quantities of the Cournot game characterised by part (a). In stage 2, they simultaneously decide on their prices p₁ and P2. The marginal cost for each firm to sell up to capacity is 0. It is impossible to sell more than capacity. The residual demand for 10 Piāj if Pi > Pj firm ij, is Di (Pi, Pj) = 10-Pi 2 = if pipi. (Note, if Pi < Pj 10 - Pi here we assume that the efficient/parallel rationing applies). Prove that it is a Nash equilibrium of the second stage subgame that each firm charges the market clearing…

Please help with these two: 1. Consider a Duopoly model, in which two firms decide a quantity simultaneously. If they collude (setting the total quantity together), then each firm can earn (higher, or lower) profit than in the Cournot equilibrium. 2. Consider a collusion with two firms. The joint profit is maximized by setting quantity and price together. Each firm sells the agreed amount. However, believing that the other firm sells the agreed amount, there is always a temptation for the firm sell (more, or less) than the agreed amount.
