Question
Consider a variant of the Bertrand's competition given in class. Assume that each firm is restricted to choose a price that is an integral number of cents. Take the monetary unit to be cent and assume that c is an integer and a > c+1. Is (c, c) a Nash equilibrium? Is there any other Nash equilibrium?

I had a question on (b), I attached my answer in handwritten, is it correct to do it by showing Lemma 1 result? It is so confusing. So, based on this with q(bar) as capacity constrained, and they are not gigantic capacity, I assumed it is played under pure strategy equilibrium of pricing game. Hence, the "optimal price = market-clearing" price is a Nash Equilibria as in Lemma 1. Pls, can you help me with (b)? Thanksarrow_forward
- There are two firms in the market (duopoly). These two firms are competingsimultaneously. The first firm chooses its output level (x) by predicting the second firm’soutput (y). Let c denote the total cost function c(x) = x and c(y) = y. Also, let’s assumethat the inverse demand function is p(Y) = 7 - Y where Y = x + y. (1) Obtain the reactionfunction of the first firm.
